Important Information for Parents
2011-2012 Inclement Weather Make-Up Plan

April 27, 2012, is scheduled as a day on which Lake Hamilton Schools will make-up any previously missed day due to bad weather.  In the event that LHSD does not cancel any regular school day before the inclement weather day arrives, no classes will be held and students will be dismissed on this date.

Why are make-up days scheduled in February, March and April instead of at the end of the calendar?

This allows opportunities for lost teaching and learning time to be made up at a time when it will be more effective than at the conclusion of the school year.  Teachers and students are more focused and both should perform better at times other than days in late May or early June.  It further provides for some of the potential lost instructional time to be made up prior to required exams in April.  This arrangement should also have less, if any, impact on any vacations or family time scheduled for June.

What if classes are not canceled on any school days before the scheduled make-up days?

In this case, students (and most teachers and staff) will not attend on these dates.  We deeply regret the apparent uncertainty as well as any additional child care burdens as an unintended result of our schedule.  However, we believe that this is the best approach to optimize time for teaching, learning and increasing student achievement.

When will parents know if school is being held on make-up days? 

We will notify parents as soon as we make any changes regarding when students are expected to attend school.

How will parents know if school is being held on make-up days?

The district will announce via written notification (backpack notes home), district website, and/or the mass telephone notification system changes in attendance days.  It is important that we have your current preferred phone number on file for us to contact you concerning these and other matters.
