Cold Weather Reminder:
The students have been asked by the recess supervisors that in order to play in the playground area (which when covered with a layer of snow/ice) they need to have coats, snow pants, boots, mittens and a hat. Please make sure everything is labeled! That way we can find the owner if misplaced!
Tis the season of weather related school closings.
We all know that it is that time of the year in Minnesota when parents and staff must be prepared for the possibility of delayed start, early release, or school closing due to weather.
In the event of questionable weather be sure to pay attention for a SchoolWay notification (this is the quickest way for you to know), an email from Main Office, or watch for 'Cologne Academy' on the WCCO or KARE11 weather related announcements.
Important Unexpected Early Release Information
It is extremely important that you are aware of the plan you put in place for your child(ren) at the start of the school year, bus or carline (Clubhouse will NOT be available), should we need to send students home early. If you need to confirm or change your plan on record please contact the office today. Thank you!
We respectfully request that you use the communications methods listed for information and announcements regarding weather related school closings and avoid phoning the school office during inclement weather or announced early releases unless it is absolutely necessary.
