With the winter season here, it is important that you make plans in the event that school is canceled due to inclement weather. In the event of school being canceled early in the morning, announcements will be made on radio and tv stations WJPD, WRUP, WKQS, WMJT, WMQT, WNMU, WFXD, WGLQ, WLUC TV-6 and WBKP TV-10. Every effort will be made to make such an announcement prior to 6:30 a.m. The announcement will be posted on the District website at www.ishpemingschools.com and the Mining Journal website at www.miningjournal.net.
It is also possible that, in the event of severe weather moving into the area, students could be dismissed after the school day has begun. In such an event, radio and television announcements will be made and the information will also be posted to the district website (www.ishpemingschools.com). It is very important that you plan ahead in the event of an early dismissal. If you are generally not home during the day when school is in session, please make arrangements for someone to be at your home in the event of an early dismissal or arrange for your child to go to another home. It is important that parents make these arrangements prior to the time that they may actucally be needed.
If you have questions regarding where your child may go in the event of an early dismissal, you may contact Principal Veale, Principal Willey or Principal Lempinen for assistance or direction. If you have questions with regard to cancellation or early dismissal procedures, please feel free to contact Superintendent Stephen Piereson.
