In case of winter weather, what is the schools closing policy?
In the event of winter weather, a decision will be made by 6:00 a.m. as to whether classes will be delayed or cancelled on that day. This decision will be posted in the residence halls, and it will also be announced on the WBC home page. Radio and television stations in Walnut Ridge, Pocahontas and Jonesboro will also be notified of the status of classes for that day. 9. How can I reach my student in case of emergency? We hope that you will never have to contact your child for an emergency. However, resources are available to you 24 hours a day if a situation does occur. During normal business hours (Monday thru Friday 8:00a.m. until 4:30p.m.), you may contact the Office of Student Affairs at (870)759-4188. After hours and during the weekend, you may contact either Jerry Vankirk, Director of Campus Security, at (870) 679-9239 or Chuck Pingel, Director of Housing, at (870) 759-0030.
