Inclement Weather
In the event school can’t resume on January 6 or has to be delayed due to bad weather, employees should expect a ParentLink call “around” 6:30 a.m. (or the night before) as to what they should do. However, employees should remember that school delays and cancellations will be posted on the district’s website and on Facebook immediately after any decision to close or delay is made.
For the administrative policy regarding inclement weather, go to http://www.rock-hill.k12.sc.us/UserFiles/district/Documents/District%20Information/Inclement%20Weather%20Guidelines%20Feb%202011.pdf.
