| At First Baptist Church Children’s Center, we make every effort to be open for parents who must work regardless of weather conditions. However, there are times when our staff cannot get to the center safely and/or the public transportation system is not operating. The safety of our staff members and our families is always of great concern to us, so we hope that you understand when we have to make adjustments to our schedule. If the WS/Forsyth County Schools delay opening due to inclement weather conditions, the Children’s Center will open at 9:00 AM. If schools are closed for the day, we will open at 10:00 AM or remain closed for the day, depending on the severity of road conditions. A decision will be made by no later than 8:00 AM. We will send out an email with delay or closing information as soon as a decision is made. Please consult WXII-12 throughout the morning for updated delay/closing information. You may also call the center in the morning and information regarding delays or closings will be available on our answering machine. Due to liability issues, if and when local schools close early due to inclement weather conditions such as snow or ice, First Baptist Church Children’s Center will not pick children up from the schools we serve. We will not put your children’s safety or the safety of our staff members at risk by driving the church bus/van when road conditions are dangerous. If local schools announce they are closing early due to bad weather conditions, parents will be responsible for picking their children up from school. If schools make the decision to close early, parents should call the Children’s Center before bringing their children in case we have decided to close early as well. It is imperative that we have all contact numbers and email addresses on file and that they are up-to-date. If we need to close the center early due to worsening weather conditions, we must know how to contact you! Please make certain that we have the necessary information on file so that someone can be reached during the workday in the event we need to close. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. |
