Language in Motion and Bad Weather
(Snow, Sleet, Ice, Extreme Cold, Flooding, etc.)
If you suspect, because of the weather forecast, that your school might be delayed or canceled, email the
teacher and/or LIM in advance to find out what to do.
If the public schools are closed or delayed because of the weather, our presentations or observations will be
affected.
To find out on presentation day if schools are in session and on time:
Option A: (faster than the other two options unless you get lucky with the timing):
- Go on the internet to: http://wpsu.org/closings OR http://wearecentralpa.com/
- Look for the name of the school district, not the school itself, (list follows) in which you are presenting.
The schools are grouped by what is happening: Closed or Delay (and the length of the delay) or Early
Dismissal.
Option B: Tune in to a local radio station such as 102.5 FM and listen for announcements. They are usually made
two or three times per hour.
Option C: Watch a local TV channel. They usually scroll delays and closings in alphabetical order across the bottom
of the screen.
What to do next:
If you find the district of the school you are going to is listed, here is what you do:
A. If the school is closed, the presentations for that day are cancelled. Contact lim@juniata.edu by email right
away. We will contact the teacher. Be sure your driver (or presenter) also knows that the scheduled trip
is not happening!
B. If the school opening is delayed, any presentations scheduled before 10:00 a.m. are either cancelled or
have had the time changed. Presentations later in the day may also be on a new time schedule. You need to
do several things:
1. Call the school to find out whether the periods you were to present in are still going to meet (some
schools rotate which periods get skipped on the day of a delay; other schools have them all but shorten
them, thus changing their start and end times).
2. If you can still go to those periods, contact your driver (or presenter) to be sure that your
transportation will still work. If so, contact the school to tell the teacher that you will be coming.
3. If you can’t go because the period times have changed or because you no longer have
transportation, call the school to cancel your presentations. Be sure to tell them the name of the
teacher in whose classes you are presenting! Then email lim@juniata.edu with some dates for which we
can reschedule you. The teacher will expect you to do these presentations on another day.
4. If the driver can’t go but you still can, contact the driver coordinator, Bri Voth, by phone at 760855-3684 or Deb Roney by phone (814-641-3493) or email (roneyd@juniata.edu). We may be able to
find another driver to get you there. If we find one and you are going, we will confirm with the school
that you are coming. If we don’t find one, we will cancel for the day, and you will need to send us new
dates for us to reschedule you.
