Medway public schools closings

If the Medway Public Schools cancel school, delay opening or dismiss early, the Program will do the same. If the school is closed, the Program is closed because it operates in the school building. Similarly, if the school delays opening, the Program will delay opening by the same amount of time. In other words if school is delayed by one (1) hour, the Program will open 1 hour later than their normal opening time.

Snow days

If the Director closes the Program because of inclement weather arising after the close of the regular school Program, parents will be notified by telephone by a classroom group leader. There will also be a message left on the Program's answering machine noting any closures or changes in hours for the day. If no phone call is received, assume the Program is open. On occasion, the Program will be forced to open late or close early during the day to insure a safe commute to and from home for staff and children. Parents will be required to make arrangements to pick up their children.

If school is going to be closed early due to inclement weather MEDI staff will make every effort to call all parents prior to the close of school. All MEDI children will be released to Extended Day. Parents will be called about the close of school and informed that MEDI will also close. Children will be picked up at the Extended Day Programs. If parents are able to make arrangements for their child to take the bus both the school and MEDI staff must be informed.
