Weather Update

We have received many inquiries about the school closing on Thursday and Friday of this week due to extreme weather conditions. To answer such questions, this is how Undercroft administration will make decisions about whether to close or remain open.

In the event Tulsa Public Schools close due to compromised road conditions, Undercroft will close school. If and when this happens, you will be notified through three channels of communication:

1. A phone message from AlertNow announcing that Undercroft has closed.
2. Through the local news channels 2, 6, and 8.
3. On the school website: www.undercroft.org

In the event that TPS closes, as they did today, due to extreme temperatures and a concern for students waiting for school buses or walking to school, then Undercroft will remain open. Our students are not traveling to school on buses and would not be exposed to the same extreme weather conditions as many public school children.

With this in mind, please take every precaution to dress your children appropriately, so their movement from your vehicle to the school building is as safe and comfortable as possible. We also encourage you to keep safety first and foremost in your decision making process. If you live in an area where road conditions are unsafe to travel upon, please stay home. Undercroft is a community of families that travel from all over our city and surrounding areas to attend school. Therefore, you will need to use your best judgment to keep your family safe because conditions may vary from location to location.

Children who are unable to attend school due to icy road conditions when school is in session, will not be counted absent on that day.

Stay warm and safe.
