AFTER-SCHOOL EVENTS: 
When an athletic or social event is held at school, students will go directly to the meeting place after they have been dismissed from 
their last class. Students are not allowed to roam around the building. 
When a parent signs a permission slip for a student to take part in a school group or club which meets on a regular basis, such as school 
sport teams, tutoring, Student Council, etc., they also give permission for that child to stay after school for scheduled events and no 
additional notes are necessary. However, as a courtesy, students should notify their bus drivers they will not be riding home on those 
afternoons. The school will provide written notice to parents when the various groups are meeting through notes or newsletters. 
Students taking part in other school and non-school activities will require written permission to stay after school. 
SPECIAL AFTER-SCHOOL GROUPS: 
a. Leaders of the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts or any after school groups need to present members with a schedule of meeting times 
so that students will not have to call home to notify their parents. Leaders of each group need to submit a list of members to the 
school including leaders’ names and telephone numbers and meeting dates and times. 
b. Meetings are NOT to be cancelled unless the leaders have contacted the parents. The parent is expecting the student to attend 
these meetings and there may be no one home if the child goes home at regular dismissal time. 
c. Students needing transportation home from after school activities are to be picked up promptly after the activity is over. 
SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS: 
In the event that school is cancelled or delayed for the day, parents should tune into area media for information. Area radio stations 
that are notified by school officials are:
WWKI - 100 FM, Kokomo 
WSAL - 102 FM/1230 AM, Logansport 
WHZR - 103.7 (Hoosier 103), Logansport 
WNJY - 102.9 FM, Monticello 
As well as TV station WLFI Channel 18 Lafayette and WTHR Channel 13 in Indianapolis. Should the school feel it is necessary to 
close schools early, the above stations will be contacted as soon as a decision is made. Parents should have arrangements made in 
advance. This information should be shared with the child so that they are aware of where they are to go. If the arrangements are 
different from normal transportation home, a note should be filed with the school’s office to verify method of transportation and where 
they are to go.
