Inclement Weather Policy


Inclement Weather: 
Snow: 
During the school year, If Medford Public Schools are closed due to weather, morning Recreation programs (before 12pm) will also be cancelled. An update will be made by 12pm to decide if evening programs and facilities can be open.  
For storms impacted during non-school days, Recreation will consult with DPW to decide if facilities and programs can remain open.  
Rain & Thunderstorms: 
For programs that are scheduled to be located outdoors, the Recreation Department along with the instructor will decide if class needs to be cancelled due to rain. Depending on the program, we may continue to run class in the rain. If thunderstorms are forecasted, for the safety of the participants, we will cancel class. Please note: Weather changes very quickly and while we try our best to give ample notification before class, in some circumstances, we need to give short notice. If rain or thunderstorms are forecasted for the day, we recommend you check our website before leaving for class. Please note: Some programs that meet multiple days or are subsidized may not receive credit for inclement weather. This will be noted in the course description.  
 
Credits for Inclement Weather:  
If class is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather, a credit will be placed on your household account for the cancelled class. Credits can be applied for a future recreation program. The Recreation Department does not schedule make up classes for cancelled classes.
