Snow Day Procedures

The following describes how school closings will be communicated. Keep in mind that the decision to close the school is made between 5 and 5:30 a.m. This allows time to contact television and radio stations and our staff. We will make every effort to keep day care and latchkey open as long as weather conditions allow.

• DHMC will announce school closings no later than 6:30 a.m. on our website, www.dhmontessori.org, the Detroit Free Press website, Channels 2, 4 and 7 and on radio stations WWJ 950 and WJR 760.
  
  However, due to space limitations, the TV channels cannot indicate whether or not day care and latchkey will be open.
   
• NEW this year! We will send an email to you to make you aware of the details should we have a snow day at DHMC.
   
• IMPORTANT: if you see on television or hear on the radio that the school is closed and you are in need of day care or latchkey services, please check our website at www.dhmontessori.org, or check your email for the latest update.
  
  OR
   
• Call the school (313-359-3000) and listen to the answering machine message.

If you have any questions about our school closing procedure, please feel free to contact the office.

We look forward to a safe winter at DHMC.

THANK YOU!
