Inclement Weather Policy

Metro East Montessori School does not typically close due to cold weather. Other schools may opt to close due to extreme temperatures, as they have students waiting for buses outside. MEMS students will be expected to come to school prepared for the weather of the day.

School closings in the event of “snow/ice days” will be announced via email, on TV channels 4 and 5 displayed as “METRO EAST MONTESSORI SCHOOL”. The closings also appear on the television stations’ websites. Please be aware that the email may end up in the junk mail folder.

Metro East Montessori School is not required and does not typically schedule make up days in the event of closings. The state requires 880 instructional hours per year. Our school has well over 1000 hours of instruction per year due to our longer school day.

We will make every attempt to make the decision to either close or stay open by 6:00am the morning of or earlier if possible.
