All dance attendees will be required to abide by the rules of the Norwin Student Discipline
Code.
Emergency Closing and Delay of School
When emergencies such as severe weather conditions, utility failures, or other situations require the
delay or closing of school, notice is given as early as possible on the district website, most radio stations
(i.e. KDKA, WWSW, and WHJB Knightbeat) as well as WPXI and WTAE television stations. Students are
to listen for school delay and cancellation information broadcast over these stations, not phone the
school. If an early dismissal is required, the information will be broadcast over these stations. Normally,
when school is canceled, athletic events, practices and/or other student activities are not conducted on
school grounds.
Emergency Procedures
In the event of an emergency a well-developed School Safety plan requires effective communication to
staff, parents, students and stakeholders. Therefore, we want to provide you some information about
what to do and expect in the event of an emergency at one of the school buildings.
Parents will receive information by a variety of methods, depending on the time and manner of the crisis.
Information will be provided on an as-needed basis; however, the administration will provide as much
information on the situation as possible to parents without compromising the safety of any person
involved or without violating laws relating to confidentiality. Communication methods and an explanation
of each are listed below:
School Messenger:
This system is designed to send an emergency message via a phone call and/or text or email
message to families. It is essential that you provide the District with accurate phone numbers and
email addresses. You should also alert the District when there is a change to any phone number
or email address.
District Website:
Emergency Information may appear on the District’s homepage at www.norwinsd.org
E-Alerts:
These are email or SMS text messages you can receive when the District website is updated with
new and/or emergency information. Directions on how to sign-up to receive E-Alerts is located on
our District webpage under the Students and Parents tab in the Emergency Procedures link.
