If the weather warrants practice being canceled ahead of time, we will make the decision by 530, and immediately send out a text from Team Connect.
If we are at practice and the weather necessitates the cancellation of practice, we will send out a text to come get your child. If we feel the weather poses a risk, we will move to the inside of school. In this case, players should be picked up, in the front of OHS. Always drive by practice field first and then to the front of OHS.
Please make sure you signed up on Team Connect to receive text messaging

History
