Emergency School Closing
Virden Community Unit District #4
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The Virden School District will make every effort to
keep all schools open throughout the school year. During inclement
weather, when schools are open, a parent/guardian makes the final
decision as to their child’s attendance at school should weather
conditions be considered too severe for a child to travel to and from
school.
It is sometimes necessary to close the District #4
schools due to an emergency. Inclement weather is usually the major cause
of school closings; however, other emergencies could occur at any time
necessitating the closing of school.
Please discuss with
your child what to do when the Virden School District announces an emergency school
closing. You are encouraged to develop a plan with your child should the
school closing announcement be made after you have left for work, or if
you are unable to be home when your child returns home following an
emergency school closing.
When a determination is made that school should be
closed to protect the health and safety of students, the information will
be announced to major radio and television stations. The
following stations will carry emergency closing information:
Ron Graham,
Superintendent
