  1. If it is learned during school hours that weather conditions may deteriorate dramatically due to an approaching typhoon or special circumstances, the Education Bureau will announce via radio and television that school will immediately be suspended. In such instances, parents are advised to collect their children from school and return home when it is safe.
  2. Under special circumstances, the Education Bureau may announce the suspension of schools in one or more districts. In such instances, students living in those districts will not be required to attend classes, even if they attend a school in another district.

 

If parents consider the weather, roads, slopes or traffic within their area not sufficiently recovered once the Education Bureau has announced the resumption of classes, they may exercise discretion when deciding whether or not to send their children to school. If the student cannot return to school or if he/she will be late due to the above circumstances, parents must please fill in the school handbook and notify the class teacher afterwards.
