Hurricane Nicole School Closure Notification
Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at 6:16PM As surreal as it may be, we are expecting a hurricane in November. Hurricane Nicole is forecast to impact our area with tropical-force winds and significant rain starting Wednesday evening.
We are following the lead of the Alachua County Public Schools and planning to close on Thursday. Friday is already a scheduled school holiday for Veterans Day. We plan on resuming school on Monday, November 14, if conditions allow.
The resumption of school will be based on the following:
- Extent of any damage to buildings/facilities
- Amount of debris clean-up required
- Availability of running water (the New Raman Reti Temple has a generator that powers auxiliary wells)
- Resumption of electrical power
- Availability of teaching staff
We certainly hope the storm’s impact is minimal for Bhaktivedanta Academy, our families, our staff, and our greater community. We will do our best to keep you all updated as much as possible.
Note: our scheduled Spirit Day is postponed to Monday, November 14 (assuming conditions allow). We will have a costume parade starting at 8:15 a.m.
Please be on the lookout for emails, phone calls, or text messages from the school with updates. We wish you all the very best.
