Just watch, we'll stay overnight at the shop and sometime in the early morning a freak blizzard will hit, burying the school in 5 feet of snow and preventing any entrance or exit. Thus we will be forced to do nothing but work on the robot for the entirety of the four-day-weekend... with dedicated parents dropping pizza slices in through the ventilation shafts in the roof.

Re: School Closings

The Technical Drawing teacher at my School (616) knew the code to the alarm, so snow days were a blessing for us. We'd go to the school about 10am and work all day.

The school building was really 3 buildings attached together though, (Middle School, Technical School, and High School) so once or twice we've walked a little to far up the hallway and set off either the high school or middle school alarm. Those days were fun.

Re: School Closings

Last year security got kind of tired of us being in at all hours so the school re-keyed an outside door for us. They kind of look the other way on snow days, except when the security guy stops by and asks how the robot is doing!
The best part of the snow days this year is that when they cancelled work for the first time ever, our engineering mentors showed up and we took a break to play snow kickball before going back to work. Yeah, we like snow days here too.

Unhappy Re: School Closings

I am not too happy about having one on ship day.
We have another one today (#5 during build season).
Luckily our shipping and receiving guy was able to move it
last night and he is coming in to wait for FedEx.

Back when I was in high school, we actually had the police come because we set off an alarm! Our teacher had a key and the alarm code for the school, so he could let us in on weekends and holidays, and one Saturday, we were working in our shop, and the assistant principal came in to use the weight room. When he left, he armed the alarm for the whole school, instead of just the gym area. So, of course, since we were still in the building, we immediately set off the motion detectors for the alarm. The police showed up a half hour later, with guns drawn They were very surprised to see a bunch of students working in the auto shop, to say the least. They didn't give us too much trouble for it, though I think the assistant principal got a phone call...

Re: School Closings

3 snow days during build season and the policy means no school with no exceptions ..... period. No one may come in for safety reasons. No sports teams, no robotics teams, students may not enter the school.

Re: School Closings

We don't get much snow in central California which is really nice, climate around here only varies like 30 degrees over the 4 seasons.
