Severe Weather Procedures and InformationClosings Before the School Day Begins If it becomes necessary to cancel school due to inclement weather, parents should listen to local radio or TV stations in the morning for information about school cancellation for the day. Also, the school has an information line that will give the parents the latest information. That number is 334-953-7804 ext. 1063.
Closings After the School Day Has Begun Once the school day has begun, every effort will be made to keep school in session for the entire day. Many of our children have two working parents and we understand the problems that early dismissal might cause. The decision to close school during the day is announced as soon as possible on local radio and TV and also on the school information line (334-953-7804 ext. 1063). It is important for parents to discuss the possibility of an early closing due to inclement weather with their children. Estalbishing a plan for such occasions will help to eliminate confusion and worry for the child and will provide assurance for the parent and the school that the child is safe and secure. PLEASE REMEMBER: Maxwell AFB Elementary School is not part of the Alabama Public School System. Closings Before the School Day Beging Maxwell AFB ElementarySchool will be open each day of the scheduled session unless the base is closed.
