Weather Delay/Closing
We generally follow Carmel Clay schools for inclement weather situations. If Carmel closes, we will also be closed. If Carmel delays for 2 hours, we will have a one-hour delay. If Carmel switches to E-learning, we will generally close, as many of our staff will need to be home with their own children. Please check our Facebook or Instagram page (links are below) for information on inclement weather days and be sure to check back in case conditions worsen or Carmel changes their plan.
