School Closing Policy

The following information is for the Bible Center School only, not Bible Center Day Care. Snow days are challenging for everyone and each year adds its own unique touch! Here is how to get the latest information if Bible Center School is closed due to weather.

If Inclement Weather Occurs… The decision to close school will be made and announced as soon as possible when inclement weather occurs. If school is closed, announcements will be made as follows:

1.
School Answering Machine
If school is closed for inclement weather, messages will be posted on the church and school phone system by or before 6:00 A.M. Call 346-0222 or 346-0431 and press 3. You will then be directed to the school information line. Calling the school may be the quickest way for most parents to receive this information.

Morning Delays - Bible Center School does not schedule two hour delays. These delays are usually for the risk of school buses being on the roads during bad weather conditions and high traffic. The decision for school closing will be made by or before 6:00 AM.

Early Dismissal - At times, Kanawha County Schools will dismiss early during the school day. Bible Center’s policy is that we do not dismiss early once school is underway. Our regular dismissal time is the same - 3:00 P.M. If weather becomes a problem in your area after the school day begins, please feel free to pick up your child or children early and they will be excused.
