St. Joseph School will be be dismissing early at 12:40 PM on Tuesday, Aug. 27th due to the extreme heat.
Temperatures in the school portion of the building rose throughout the day and were exceeding 80 degrees early this afternoon. While the school is air conditioned, the system is unable to keep the environment sufficiently cool when outdoor temperatures reach such extreme levels. With similar temperatures forecasted for tomorrow, we have made the decision to have St. Joseph dismiss early.
What this means for St. Joseph Families on Tuesday:
THERE WILL BE NO PM PRESCHOOL ON TUEDAY.
LUNCH: Lunch WILL be served.
ACTIVITIES: There will be no after-school activities for St. Joseph School.
CHILDCARE/ELC: The St. Joseph ELC/Childcare will operate as normal on Tuesday as the ELC space has separate and sufficient air conditioning units for those areas.
PM BUSING: If Linn-Mar Community Schools dismisses two hours early as well on Tuesday, PM busing will still be provided for St. Joseph students who ride the bus. If LMCS does not dismiss two hours early, there will be no PM busing for St. Joseph students.
OTHER XAVIER CATHOLIC SCHOOLS: All other Xavier Catholic Schools will operate on normal schedules on Tuesday.
