2. In regard to severe weather emergencies, please remember that Holy Apostles School follows the decision of the New Berlin Schools as required by Archdiocesan policy. When the New Berlin Public Schools are closed/delayed start/early dismissal, Holy Apostles will automatically do the same thing. We do not list our school individually on the radio or television, unless we close for an individual reason, such as a broken water main at Holy Apostles.
3. In the event of an emergency early release of our students (closing prior to 2:25), it is our policy to contact as a first priority, all working parents and/or those families whose students would go home to an empty house. Time may not permit us to contact every family prior to the release of students. If we are unable to reach a working parent/emergency contact person, we will hold the student(s) in the gym until someone can pick up the child(ren). We will do our best to ensure that children are safe.
4. Buses frequently run late under severe weather conditions.
5. When the weather is inclement; that is wet, rainy or with a wind-chill factor of 14 degrees below zero all students will remain indoors. Parents are encouraged to have their children DRESS PROPERLY for the severe weather.
