Inclement Weather Policy

THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY IS:

SAFETY FIRST

 1. Yeshiva Elementary School will follow the lead of the Miami-Dade Public School Advisory regarding school closure and evacuation.

2. In the event that there is no public school scheduled for a day when YES is in session, and therefore no announcement regarding the public school closures, we will act according to the following guidelines:

  • In the event of a HURRICANE WATCH OR HURRICANE WARNING for Miami-Dade County, there will be no school. 
  • If school is already in session and a hurricane watch or warning is posted, students will be sent home in an organized manner.
  • In the event of a TROPICAL STORM WATCH OR WARNING, school will be open.

 

3. Listen to the local radio stations for updates about weather conditions and school closings.  In addition, if there is power, we will post regularly updated messages on the school phone system at 305-867-3322.
