Bristow Public Schools Procedures for Winter Weather

Body
As past years have proven, Oklahoma winters can arrive with a vengeance, and sometimes, snow is not our worst enemy. The school has procedures to deal with “old man winter” when he gets here. Because many of our parents work, we realize that canceling school creates a hardship on parents. Therefore, if the roads are determined passable for our buses, we will have school. If parents do not feel it is safe, they should keep their children at home and contact the school. The schools provide up to ten absences a semester for such emergencies.
