When winter weather arrives, schools may be closed or delayed or buses may use snow routes. These decisions are made by the district early in the morning and are the same for every 4J school.
Snow day notifications: Our school district communicates any decision to change school or bus schedules as quickly as possible in several ways, all well before 6:30 a.m.
- Sign up for text-message alerts via Twitter.

Check the district website homepage: www.4j.lane.edu

Tune in to local news media
No news = No change. If schools and buses are on their regular schedule, there will NOT be an announcement.
School Closure = No school for students. The decision about afternoon/evening activities will be made by noon.
Two-Hour Delay: School starts two hours late and ends at the usual school dismissal time. If a delay occurs on an early release Friday, school will still be dismissed at the early release time.
Snow Routes: Some school bus routes have alternate “snow routes” that avoid higher and steeper elevations. If you need information about your student’s bus route, please seewww.4j.lane.edu/
Parent Choice: Please consider the road conditions in your own area in making your decision about school attendance, and notify the school if your student will be staying home. Parents’ decisions about absences for weather-related safety reasons will be honored.

Heres how it works:
Check the products you buy for Box Tops coupons – they’re on many foods, office, cleaning, and paper products.
Cut them out and drop them off in the collection bin outside the library. We will do the rest. Remember, each Box Top coupon is worth 10 cents for Charlemagne. It may not sound like much, but they add up. Last year, we raised $244 for our school. This year we have raised $96.00 and still counting!
Keep clipping and turn them in so we can submit them to Box Tops for Education by the March 1st deadline.
Thanks for your support!
