During bad weather or in an emergency situation, Chapin will either CLOSE or have a TWO HOUR delay, opening at 10:00 a.m.  Because so many of our students travel considerable distances, safety, road conditions and the availability of busing are the primary factors in our decision.  We consult with other independent and public schools and review weather forecasts in an effort to make a decision as early as possible so parents can make appropriate arrangements.  

Parents will be notified through the Honeywell Instant Alert system and should get both a call on their home phones as well as a message on their primary home e-mail accounts.  If the parents have registered, they will be notified on all the devices they have selected.  

Once children have arrived, we will not close school early; however, sports, activities and the After School Program may be cancelled.
