Speech Winter Weather Policy

Hello all,

With snow on the ground and winter here, we wanted to share the CEHS Speech Team winter weather policy:

1. If there is a 2 hour delay on Tuesday, there is no morning meeting. Check the blog for information we would have given you and directions to follow.

2. If there is a 2 hour delay on Wednesday or Friday, there will still be practice.

3. If school is cancelled, there is no morning meeting or practice.

4. If school dismisses early, practice will be cancelled.

5. We will travel to weekend meets as long as BCSC transportation tells us it is still safe. We will communicate any cancelled meets on the blog and via text message.

As always, if you are ever concerned, please ask Anna or Matt!
