DELAYED SCHOOL OPENING
A delayed school opening is an alternative to closing on inclement weather days when road conditions show signs of improving later in the morning. At Vance Charter, delayed opening begins at 10 AM. The Before School Program will not be available on late opening days, so parents are not to drop their children at school earlier than 10 AM. In the event of such a delayed opening, notification will be broadcast by radio, television, our website and ED-CONNECT.
