MAKE-UP DAYS *
The decision to make up missed school days due to inclement weather will be made by the Superintendent based on the best instruction for students . Notice for make up days may be short , depending upon the timing and duration of the inclement weather event . The make up schedule will be announced as soon as possible after an inclement weather event has ended .
STUDENT EARLY RELEASE DAYS
Student Early Release Days : Students will be dismissed from school 2.5 hours earlier than the normal dismissal time on seven days during the year . Lunch will be served before students dismiss . After school activities will begin at the regularly scheduled time .
Help Greasy Protect Against FOG
DON ’ T POUR FATS , OILS , GREASE OR WAX ( FOG ) IN DRAINS !
Grease can build up in pipes and running hot water down the drain does not dissolve the grease completely . If a clog forms in a sewer pipe , raw sewage can back up into your house or outside , negatively affecting the environment . These steps can prevent this :
1 . Pour unused cooking grease into a can , and wipe out the remaining scraps with a paper towel .
2 . Collect and store the can in your refrigerator or freezer and dispose of these in the trash when full .
3 . Pour liquid frying oil into containers that can be capped , thrown in the garbage or taken to a recycling center .
OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
ONLY FLUSH TOILET PAPER — No wipes down the pipes ! MEDICATIONS are not safe to flush either , so drop these off at authorized recycling drop-box locations such as Salisbury Police Department . MERCURY or devices containing mercury such as old thermometers , thermostats , switches , and lights containing mercury vapor should be handled with extreme care and disposed of properly . For more information on Household Mercury ( Its Appropriate Use and Disposal Practices ) as well as our FOG Program visit our website at www . salisburync . gov / SRU .
