INCLEMENT WEATHER
In case of inclement weather, the school will follow
the Virginia Beach Public School's policy on opening and closing for the first day of the weather
emergency(snow,hurricane,etc.). If the public
schools are closed for the day, all programs will be
closed. If the public schools are delayed for more
than one hour, usually there will be no morning
preschool. The Full and Extended classes will
follow the same procedures for opening as the
public schools.
If the public schools are closed for more than one
day, the Parish Day School's delay or closing
(for the second or subsequent days) will be
announced on the local television stations or their
websites. Full-day classes and extended-day
classes are not automatically available these days.
Please call the school to verify if we are able to
offer this care.
Although it is generally our policy to follow the
public school schedule, there may be times the
Parish Day School will be closed, after severe
weather, if the health, fire and/or safety
inspectors deem necessary. Should weather
conditions deteriorate during the day requiring
that we close before 6 p.m. parents and/or
emergency contacts will be notified by phone. If
the public schools close earlier than normal, we
will attempt to transport the kindergarten students
to PDS in a timely fashion. It is important that if
you do not want your child brought here by us on
such day , you must call the public school and pass
this message through them.
Because the Parish Day School is private any
missed days due to inclement weather will not be
made up. Please make arrangements in advance for
back up childcare plans, in the event of inclement
weather closings. No allowances will be made in
tuition for inclement weather closings, absences,
church closings and holidays.
Most TV stations will only list us online rather
than on television. If you have any questions,
please contact us at the office.
