Weather Info for 12/17/08

I have already had several calls from concerned parents regarding the weather and possible delays or closings for tomorrow. Currently, a few of the local districts near Melissa have already scheduled delays. Unless the weather becomes dangerously severe, Mudpies will operate tomorrow, even if MISD chooses to close. If the ISD delays start or cancels classes, we will plan to open at 8:30 inorder to give our staff ample time to arrive safely. If school is closed, we will offer a full day drop in for school age kids. Please understand that schedules, class sizes and activities may change if we open in inclement weather. Obviously, we would experience some shortage of staff and may need to adjust accordingly, but we will be here for you. If MISD opens late and your child is enrolled in before-school care, you may bring them when we open and we will get them to school. If they are not enrolled in that program, talk to the director on duty to see if there is space for a drop in.

Staff: In the event of an ISD delay or closing and ypu are scheduled prior to 8:30, please report at 8:30. If you are scheduled to arrive later, plan to arrive at your scheduled time. If you are unable to report to work for any reason, it is your responsibility to contact Danielle or Lori at least 2 hours before you are scheduled to arrive.

Keep watching the blog for updates.... hopefully this will all clear up tonight and we can open on time. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We know that we have the very best families at Mudpies!
