Inclement Weather Schedule for JVPS Schools
The decision to implement an abbreviated day schedule requires the
coordinated efforts of Dr. Sue Passell, Superintendent of Schools and Charlene
Marmolejo, Jemez Valley Transportation Department. They gather
information regarding weather and road conditions in order to determine
the ability for our school buses to transport students to school
safely.
Dr. Sue Passell will make the final decision to implement an abbreviated day schedule or cancellation of school.
The
abbreviated day schedule is a shortened school day, which begins two
hours later than the regular schedule. Bus schedules are also delayed
two hours. Notification
is usually made by 6:30 a.m. Should the complete cancellation of school
be necessary, notification is usually given by 7:30 a.m. Please avoid
calling the school or the district office for this information. It is
recommended that families plan for such emergency closures.
If severe weather conditions materialize during the school day, the
decision for an “early dismissal” will be made by 11:30 a.m. in order
to arrange for school buses to arrive at your schools prior to normal
dismissal time.
ALL PARENTS: Please make sure that your contact information (especially email addresses and home/cell phone numbers) have been updated in
your child’s school record so that our emergency contact system will be
able to reach the correct person in the case of emergencies or
attendance calls! For more information about the
