With the snowy weather conditions we have been having, there is a chance the Club may be closed certain days this week. We already are closed Monday, Jan 16 due to the holiday. But, please read the weather statement below to find out about the rest of the week. We will continue to update our website at www.whatcomclubs.org.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
IN GENERAL, the Boys & Girls Clubs follow these guidelines and procedures regarding snow policies, and other inclement weather conditions:
1. Decisions are made based primarily upon safety. Is it safe (walking and driving) for children and staff to arrive to the Club or program sites? How do we avoid the unsafe circumstance of being "stranded" at the Club or program sites?
2. If the local school is closed, the local Club is closed. This may vary district to district.
3. If the school closes early, such as at noon, then the local Club is closed.
4. If school is on a delay-- for example, opening two hours late-- then the Club's beforeschool program is also two hours late.
5. Anytime a school is closed, all activities at the school (such as basketball games or practices) are cancelled. Again this may vary district to district. For example, Mt. Baker may be closed, but Bellingham open.
6. For updated information, and on Saturdays (sports), the Branch Directors or Athletic Directors may leave updated messages on their Club's outgoing voice mail.
