Weather and Emergency Messages

When inclement weather or another emergency prevents the opening of school, requires early closing, or activates an alternate school schedule, information will be available on Maret's homepage (www.maret.org). Parent/Guardian phone numbers and/or email addresses also will be used for email and text notifications.

Families should keep emergency email and phone contacts current. Changes to this information should be made online by logging into the Parent Portal. If you need assistance, contact techsupport@maret.org.

We will make an independent decision about closing school due to weather conditions. We will try to make the decision of “No School” by 5:30 a.m. If an announcement is NOT posted to the website, families should assume that school is operating on schedule.

In inclement weather or other emergencies, parents/guardians should always use their own judgment about road conditions and the safety of bringing their children in to school and picking them up early.
