[BHS Etree] ADMIN: URGENT: CLASSES CANCELLED TOMORROW, Dec. 11 (Fri.)

[BHS Etree]

Dear Community,

Given the most recent information by multiple weather services about the 
large storm headed to the bay area, and in the interest of maintaining 
an abundance of caution where student and staff safety is concerned, we 
are making the difficult decision to cancel classes and after-school 
programs for tomorrow, December 11, 2014.

San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, and a number of other neighboring 
districts have also decided to close.

Among the chief concerns factoring in to our decision are:

  * Potential injuries to students and staff coming to and from school
  * Possible delays with transportation, both for district bus lines and
    parent drivers
  * Weather-related hazards in and around school campuses (downed power
    lines, structural hazzards, etc.)
  * Possibility of inadequate student supervision if large numbers of
    staff have difficulty getting to campuses
  * Potential power outages and the complications they will bring to
    bear on the regular school day
  * Potential for flooding at school sites or in classrooms
  *

As always, we will be overcautious in making decisions about student and 
staff safety.
