INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Accelerated Schools of Overland Park makes every effort to ensure that students can safely travel to and from school each day. ASOP has students attending our school from throughout the entire metropolitan area, so checking current weather conditions and forecasts will drive our decision about any changes in our school schedule.
Information about any changes to our schedule (e.g., school cancellations and late starts) due to inclement weather will be shared with parents via email, and will also be announced through the following:
a pop-up box on our website,
an announcement bar at the top of our website,
local television stations ("Accelerated Schools" will appear on the TV screen and on the station’s website).
Student Responsibility
Students do not have the “day off” when there is a school cancellation. Teachers of core classes (English, math, social studies and science) will post a 30-minute assignment on Google Classroom for students to complete using materials they have at home or in their backpacks. As an alternative, assignments may be delivered to students via their school email or sent home the day before.
Students who complete their core class assignments by 9:00am the day following a school cancellation will not be counted absent. Students who do NOT complete their core class assignments by 9:00am the following day will be counted absent.
No assignments will be posted for elective classes.
