Weather Related School Closing

Closings at ABBC Preschool due to weather related conditions will be consistent with North Kansas City School District. If weather conditions or other unexpected, short-term events make it unsafe for students to attend in person, the NKC School District has several options: school may start two hours late, students may be released early, students may learn virtually, or in-person classes may be canceled entirely due to inclement weather.

Weather Related School Closure- If NKC School District cancels classes due to weather related conditions, ABBC Preschool will be closed as well. Please watch your local news programs for school closing listings. Parents of ABBC Preschool will receive a notification text as well.

Two Hour Delay Start- NKC Schools has a safe option for inclement weather days that could reduce the need for makeup days. The District has introduced school and bus schedules to accommodate a two-hour delayed start for days when daylight and additional time to treat roads mean safe passage is possible for students. Essentially, the school day will be two hours shorter. On a two-hour delayed start day, all buses will pick up students two hours later than the regular pickup times, but the drop-off times will NOT change. All schools will end their day at the regular end time.

ABBC PRESCHOOL DELAYED START POLICY

Early Education Program

Although rare, in the case of a two-hour delay start for the NKC school district ABBC Preschool Early Education Program will have not have school on this day. The delayed opening is an Antioch Bible Baptist Church Building Policy which we are required to follow. The required delayed start time for our preschool day would begin at 11:00 a.m. and end at 12:00 p.m. Due to the fact that the delayed start would significantly limit our school day and to ensure the safety of our staff and families school will be cancelled on these days.

Pre-Kindergarten Academic Program

In the case of a two-hour delay start for the NKC school district ABBC Preschool will have a delayed start as well. The start time for our preschool day will begin 11:00 a.m. Students may be dropped off at 10:50 a.m. Please plan on sending a lunch with your child that day as usual. Our day will end at our regular time of 1:00 p.m.

Virtual Learning Day- If needed, NKC School District will implement virtual learning days. Students will not attend classes in person due to weather or road conditions. If NKC School district calls for a virtual learning day due to inclement weather or road conditions, ABBC Preschool will not be in session that day.
