Fire and safety drills take place multiple times throughout the school year when students, faculty and staff are present. The faculty communicates fire and safety plans with the students at the beginning of the school year and review when needed. Drills take place in the academic, athletic and dormitory buildings. F. Inclement Weather With a significant boarding population, we do not cancel school unless conditions are severe. However, at no time do we expect day students or families to take unnecessary risks. Day-student absences accompanied by a parent/guardian phone call to the Deans Office on inclement days are excused. Work missed can be completed without consequence. Day students who can safely get to school should sign in at the Deans Office as soon as conditions and family comfort allow. If students cannot drive home from campus due to inclement weather, they should contact the Administrator on Duty. Arrangements can be made for them to sleep on campus. If classes, practices, games or activities are canceled, day students are not permitted to be on campus. For the most current information and updates, students should check email. Families can check the school’s website - www.wma.us - which is also available on mobile devices. G. Text Alerts Students with cell phones are expected to give their cell phone numbers to the Deans Office at the beginning of the school year. Cell phone numbers will be used for text alerts, which include events, cancellations, inclement weather and school-wide emergencies.
