If the weather or other situations warrant the closing of school, it

will be announced in the mornings over the following radio stations WFAD, WVMT, WIZN, and WOKO.  You may also call the school's weather information number at 877-6604.

 

 

Thoreau once stated, "Beware of any enterprise requiring new clothes." While we certainly appreciate the wisdom of this notion, the many cold days of winter and the direct contact with the elements require a certain mindfulness with regards to clothing.  Consequently, warm and waterproof garments are necessary and the following should be considered:

Wool pants

Rain parka

Warm gloves

Wool socks

Wool hat

Winter hiking boots

Long underwear

Knapsack

Sleeping bag

Waterproof matches

Flashlight

Water bottle

 

If there are financial concerns and adequate clothing cannot be obtained, please contact the Walden staff.

 

 

Walden students will meet for the same days as mandated by the State and District with regards to attendance.  However, to accommodate this, Walden’s calendar will include trips that meet on days that are not listed on the traditional calendar of VUHS.  For example, Walden students will meet for several days before the academic calendar of mainstream students.  These days will be compensated at appropriate times during the year to ensure no academic disruption.  Walden staff will provide parents/guardians the needed information so they may plan accordingly.  Schedule for vacations will mirror that of ANwSU.
