Snow Days, Delayed Openings, Early Closing,
When there is a winter storm or icy road conditions, PFCS will generally follow the Flagstaff Unified School District decision to cancel school or delay opening for two hours. Once this decision is made, the announcement will be over the following radio stations: KAFF (93 FM), KMGN (93.9 FM), KNAU (91.7 FM), KOLT (107.5 FM) or KVNA (600 AM). The announcememt will also be posted at pineforestschool.org and a phone message will be left at 779-9880

In the event of a two-hour delayed opening, the before care program will open at 9:00 a.m. and classes for grades 1-8 will begin at 10:30 a.m. Kindergarten will be canceled for that day, however kindercare will be available for those who are signed up beginning at 10:30am (please send children w/ a lunch). Afternoon preschool will meet at the normal time.
School will be dismissed at the regular time. Please do not risk driving on unsafe roads to bring your child to school-this is an excused absence.
If it begins to snow during the day, students may be dismissed early. PFCS will announce an early closing time over the above radio stations and post this notice on the website. Parents may also call the school for closing information, but please be aware that due to a heavy volume of calls, your call may not get through the first time. As a general rule, if it begins to snow substantially during the day and the weather forecast is for winter storms, parents may pick up children any time during the school day. Please be aware of the possibility of an early dismissal, listen to the radio, and have a plan whereby your child knows to go to the home of a neighbor or friend if he/she arrives home earlier than expected and no one is home.
