INCLEMENT

WEATHER POLICY

In the case of bad weather, Local Cloth will follow the closure decision of AB Tech. You can find this information on the WLOS website.

COVID-19 POLICY

Local Cloth follows the latest CDC Guidelines which suggest "returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall; and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication." Once activities are resumed, the CDC still recommends "additional prevention strategies" for an additional five days, including wearing a mask and keeping distance from others.
