Calamity Day Notification

If school is affected due to bad weather, the Mariemont City School District operates on either a two-hour delay or a complete school closure for the day. Bus service will still be operational if we are on a delay.

In an effort to disseminate a calamity day announcement in a timely manner, the first step in the notification process will be electronic with an email to all parents and staff. Notifications will be posted on the district Facebook page and Twitter feed. On the website, an alert will be posted as a blue bar across the top of each page and a story will be posted on the District News page. Local media outlets will then be notified. Once the media is notified, there is usually a 10-15 minute delay before they process and announce the notification, so please make the Facebook page, Twitter feed, website and/or email your first stop when checking for school closures.

IN CASE OF EARLY RELEASE DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, parents of students

in grades K-6 will be contacted via telephone prior to student dismissal. We will not be able to send a child home without parent confirmation. For students in grades 7-12, parents will not be contacted via phone prior to student release; although we will send an email and post the announcement on the Facebook and Twitter pages for all grade levels. Bus service will be operational for all students who regularly utilize this service.

Emergency Alert Notification

Mariemont City Schools uses a notification program called SchoolMessenger, however it is important to note that SchoolMessenger will only be used in the case of an emergency. The SchoolMessenger program utilizes phone, email and/or text to send notifications instantaneously, thus increasing the likelihood that our parents and staff receive crucial information in a timely manner. We know that in a time of crisis, communication is key. You will receive information about how to opt in to receiving these messages in the beginning of the school year.

We look forward to sharing the kindergarten experience with you and your child. If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
