Weather Emergency Information

Unplanned Closures

It may be necessary for our center to close or reduce hours due to snow or weather-related emergencies, energy problems, or other unforeseen events. Parents are encouraged to monitor your email, the Alaris Parent Portal messages and your phone for a possible robo-call with updates from the YMCA.

While we don’t anticipate there will be many of these occurrences, the family will still be financially responsible for any registered sessions missed. Should the program close more than four (4) times during the school year for weather/building emergencies, family accounts will be credited for any further program closures. If the building site elects to close, our program will also close. 

Weather related closures:

Please refer to this chart to see which school district your center is located in, along with the hours and closures your center will follow based on that district's schedule.

Should the weather be bad enough that we need to close your center for the day, we will notify you via email and/or robocall by 6:30 am. 

Other unplanned closures:

If a closure occurs during the program day, families will be contacted immediately and are expected to pick up their child within one hour of notification. The decision to close the centers is made by YMCA leadership.

The center will remain open until all of the children have departed with their parents or an adult authorized by the parents. After the one-hour time frame of closing, late fees will apply. Emergency contact forms and authorized pick-up information must be current to ensure timely pick-up if necessary. Families are encouraged to have a back-up care plan in place in case of an unplanned closure.
