WHY implement CODE ORANGE:
Last year, we introduced “Code Orange,” which is used when weather conditions are marginal and impact road or sidewalk safety conditions but are not so severe as to cause substantial impacts. We will continue to use this code in the same manner for this school year.
This enables teachers to grade assignments and provides additional planning time. Employees may attend remote professional development, and business operations continue.In the event of long-duration impact (days or weeks) weather events, Code Orange may change to require real-time (synchronous) learning. Code Orange may also be used in lieu of a delayed opening. PWCS will continue to have “Code Red” days (closing all schools and operations) for significant weather impacts. More information on weather codes can be found here.
