INCLEMENT WEATHER
For programs and events:

We follow Rutherford County School dismissal policies. If schools are cancelled due to bad weather, classes will NOT be held that day or evening. We do not make phone calls for cancelled classes / event, but will post notices on our FaceBook page.
If weather becomes a problem during class, the Class Coordinator will make a decision regarding dismissal. Always consider your own safety when deciding to drive in bad weather.
