We have a new feature on our website that you’ll want to check out.
What is Twitter?
One is Twitter. What is Twitter?Twitter is a free web-based “social networking” service that makes it easy to send and receive small instant messages called Tweets. You can receive these on any computer browser or as text on your wireless phone. We will be updating our Twitter page regularly with news and late-breaking information such as school closings due to weather or public health or safety alerts related to our school. For more information on Twitter and how to set it up and use it on your PC, Mac or wireless phone (it must be able to receive text messages), please watch our tutorials:

After many hours of deliberation we have decided to follow the Bad Weather Policy from our Parent Handbook which states that if both APS and Dekalb County Schools are closed we will close as well. Due to the number of teachers who have contacted me in regard to weather damage at their homes, travel conditions to work, and hauling their school age children with them, we have elected to close the preschool tomorrow. We appreciate your understanding and anticipate resuming normal hours on Wednesday, pending further weather updates.
BAD WEATHER POLICY
We will follow school closings in both Atlanta City and Dekalb County school systems.
If both school systems are closed, Druid Hills UM Preschool will be closed as well. If, however,
only one school system closes, we will make a decision about preschool closings based on the
conditions at the Druid Hills UM Preschool. As always, you must make a personal choice based
on travel conditions from your home to the preschool.
