Inclement Weather School Closing/Delay Protocol & Notifications

As temperatures begin to drop, we would like to remind you of school procedures as they pertain to school closings and delays due to inclement weather:

We will make every effort to decide our status on any given day by 6:00 AM and post our status by 6:15 AM. We will give primary consideration to road/travel conditions, and we will most often err on the side of having school. We understand that families come from a variety of different cities, and weather and road conditions and directions from Saint Agnes may vary significantly; should any parents make a decision not to send their child(ren) to school, we will respect those decisions.

When a decision has been made to close or delay the start of school, the order of posting is as follows: notification via Educate’s emergency alert system (email, phone and text), posting to the school website, and, finally, notification to the four major media sites (WCCO, KARE11, FOX9, KSTP5). Other supplemental notification may be given by social media but is not guaranteed.
