Inclement Weather
Delay
Yep... you can press snooze
Please note that when CHCA is open, but your school district is closed, the school district WILL NOT provide its usual bus transportation.
Note that TV or radio stations do not allow specificity for our 4 buildings so we all follow "Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy". There is no delineation by building or campus. You will be notified of the plan via our phone messaging system, but listening to your local TV or radio stations is always a good backup.

Closing
Note that TV or radio stations do not allow specificity for our 4 buildings so we all follow "Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy". There is no delineation by building or campus. You will be notified of the plan via our phone messaging system, but listening to your local TV or radio stations is always a good backup.
- all CHCA campuses are closed (Check the website page pop and your message from the Head of School office.)
- all extended care programs are cancelled
- all after school activities are canceled unless you are notified otherwise
- For Upper School, the block day that would have occurred on the closure will be repeated on the return day so no block day is skipped. For example, if Tuesday is a scheduled Block A day and we close on Tuesday, when school reopens on Wednesday, it will be a Block A day.
Athletics
Winter weather occasionally means adjustments to our game and practice schedules. In all situations, we first consider the safety of our players and spectators.
- Gr K-8: If CHCA cancels school or dismisses early due to inclement weather, Gr K-8 team practices and games are cancelled as well.
- Gr 9-12: If CHCA cancels school or dismisses early due to inclement weather, Gr 9-12 teams could still be allowed to practice or compete.
- School administration will gauge weather conditions and road safety nearer to practice/competition time and will then communicate with the head varsity coach.
- If school has been cancelled and the administration allows practice to be held later that day, this practice is not mandatory.
- Coaches will notify families if practice will be held. It is always left to the parents’ discretion whether or not their child will attend.
CHCA's Phone Messaging System
We use the SchoolMessenger system to notify you of school delays and closings as well as periodic information and updates. One of the benefits of SchoolMessenger is that we can broadcast messages to multiple phone numbers and email addresses and also via text message*.
- Use the SchoolMessenger app or portal to customize your notification preferences
- Email CHCA at Registrar@chca-oh.org to change any of the contact numbers/addresses we have on file for you
