Bingo....
last year I had a family emergency which required me to hop on a plane without much notice and leave state. I didn't ask the parents, I told them. BUT I do make sure that the parents are aware at the time of enrollment that in the event of a family emergency (like death or family medial related issues) I can take an emergency closing without much notice.
I would hand out a note that says, we will be closing at 1pm Friday. Please arrange your schedule so that you can be here on time..
I am so sorry you are going through this. My grandmother is 92, her health has been bad for years and she just keeps hanging on. I wait by my phone every day for that call.
like others said, take care of you...
sometimes you just have to tell parents what is going to happen instead of asking them.
