If school is closed because of bad weather or some other emergency, we will:
- Post the closure on the CAJ web site
- Send an emergency closing announcement by e-mail to all CAJ families
- Activate a school closing message in the academic office (042-471-0022)
- Attempt to have the announcement made on the 810 AM radio band.
Please rely on items 1, 3, and 4. We will attempt item 2, but we cannot guarantee that you will receive the e-mail.
Earthquakes
The school is equipped with generator power as well as emergency supplies of food and water. For emergency contact, the school also has a cellular phone number that is available only to CAJ families and is published at the front of the school directory (called "Who’s Who").
- In the aftermath of a dangerous earthquake that occurs while school is in session:
- Until a general “all clear” statement is issued by authorities, students will not be permitted to leave campus without administrative consent or being accompanied by a parent or guardian;
- No student will use the CAJ telephone unless directed. Cellular phones may be used by students.
- Parental responsibilities are as follows:
- Ensure that students carry school and other identification cards with them at all times.
- Advise children of the necessary actions and responsibilities if caught en route to/from school.
