Asheville Catholic School: Parents: Snow & Weather Emergency Info

A unique perspective on ACS

I love so many things about Asheville Catholic School. I love that my shy beautiful daughter found the confidence to play volleyball and try out for the school play. I love that my quirky sons can play chess and soccer and that their creative talents are celebrated. I love that my children are not lost in the crowd, that they are not just another kid in the hall. I love the after school program, the focus on community service, and the uniforms that make the morning rush a little less hectic! Most of all, I love the pride in my children's voices when they answer the question, "Where do you go to school?" Asheville Catholic!!

Snow/Weather Emergency

Adverse weather conditions or other emergencies may require that school be closed, delayed or release students early. If a schedule change is deemed necessary, parents/guardians will receive an ALERTNOW phone notification call. Announcements also will be made on local radio and television stations and on the ACS website after 6 a.m. There will be a separate announcement for Asheville Catholic School; we do not automatically follow any other school system.

At all times, please remember that we expect you, as the parent, to make the final decision as to whether you feel it is safe for your child to go to school.

In the event of an early closing, the van driver will contact the parents of van riders. If we are unable to make contact with the parents/guardians, or they for some other reason, were not alerted about the early dismissal, the van driver has orders not to allow any child to get out of the van without an adult waiting for them. Therefore, if you want your child to walk home alone, arrangements must be made in the beginning of the year. Those children not picked up at the van stop will be brought back to school and the parents/guardians will be contacted and instructed to pick the student(s) up at the school.
