Helpful Hints For School Closures


A few helpful reminders for inclement weather closures
For The Children's Hour Academy…
  • We use the Lake Oswego School District as a "guideline" when we make our decision to open or close. Please be assured that our decision to close is not taken lightly and is made with a great deal of consideration for both staff and families.
  • We will update the messages at both locations by 7:30 p.m. each evening. In the event we do not make a decision until the following morning we will change the messages by 5:30 a.m.
  • We also have a blog that we update with current closure information. It has valuable information regarding activities happening at CHA. The blog is http://www.chaconnection.blogspot.com/. You can sign up for email updates, located on the right hand column that will automatically update you each time there is change to the blog.
  • The news channels websites list us in their closures. If you log into http://www.kgw.com/, their website appears to be the easiest to navigate and read. We are listed under 'Private & Charter Schools - Portland area'.
  • We belong to the same service that the public schools use to announce closures. You can find us listed under the running banner on all the local news stations.

Thank you for your patience over the last few crazy weather days and what appears may be on the horizon for future weather as well.
