Please use this Webform to report a student absence or medical appointments as the preferred method of reporting student absences in lieu of an email or phone call.

The school’s primary communication for closings and delays will be through FACTS Family Portal email, text and/or voice message. 

School closings and delays will also be broadcast over radio station WQKT (FM 104.5), and on some select television channels like WKYC (Ch 3), WJW (Ch 8), and WEWS (Ch 5).

In the event of a school closing, all after-school extra-curricular event decisions will be made and communicated by the coaches and directors to student participants. All middle school practices and games will be canceled. All before school student meetings, rehearsals, or events are automatically canceled in the event of a school closing or delay.

While the school makes decisions related to delays, parents make the final decision about road safety based on weather conditions. Parents are to notify the school when their student will be absent due to weather conditions. This is an excused absence.
