Snow Day Procedures  

ALL CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED Wednesday, March 5, 2008 due to the weather.

Snow days and or inclement weather procedures for St. Mary’s follow those of the Berea City School District.  When the Berea City Schools are closed due to weather related issues, so is St. Mary’s.  We do not follow the closing schedule of the Catholic Schools in the City of Cleveland.

If the Berea City Schools are open, but the school district that provides your child’s bus transportation is closed, you are responsible for getting your child to and from school on that day.  Our Extended Care program will be open at 6:30am to help take care of your children as you drop them off.  After school, you can pick your children up as late as 6:00pm.  The phone number for Extended Care is 440-234-7210.
