Alternatives For Children Project SAVE

Project SAVE The Safe Schools Against Violence in Education Act (Project SAVE), was signed into law in July 2000, to improve school safety in response to the rise of violence in our schools. Emergencies and violent acts are serious matters which must be handled expeditiously and effectively. In cooperation with Project SAVE, Alternatives For Children has compiled this plan to address responses to a variety of emergencies in our schools. The School Wide Plan is inclusive of the needs of the entirety of the school community.

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS

Please know we are always thinking of the safety of children and staff. There are MANY factors and many municipal entities involved when making a weather school closing decision. PLEASE do not call your bus company for closing information. They do not always have the correct and most current information.

In the event it becomes necessary to close our Child Day Care program due to inclement weather or other unforeseen reasons you will receive a RoboCall / text to the phone numbers you provided. It is important that you let us know if any phone numbers change.

You will also receive an Emergency Closing message on Class Dojo.

Emergency Closing information will be posted on our website

Emergency Closing information will also be posted on News 12 website

News 12 Long Island has informed us that closing information for day care facilities, nursery and preschools will NOT be presented on their lower-screen info bar. This information will now be available on IO Channel 612 or on their website
