I am maybe a little confused by this whole situation. What is your normal routine? The kids come before school and you take them to the bus? You walk to the bus? Did they just skip your house this morning and dropped off child at school or were busses cancelled in the afternoon? I guess I am just confused by why mom thought you would walk to the school to pick up.

There seems to be some sort of mixup or lack of communication on both sides as I just don't see a parent not picking up their child if they knew you weren't going to.

What was said when they picked up the children today? Did you tell them they are terminated?
My normal routine is to drop off and pick up kids from the bus. Both parents were reminded of my in-climate weather policy in January, where not only did it go out in our monthly news letter (After reading the news letter all parents must sign and return the bottom similar to the schools so that i can insure that they have been read), but I sent out a text to all the families last night at 6 pm advising them of the up coming storm, and that the buses more then likely would not be running, and to please make other arrangements.
The excuse that i got was they were in meeting ( I know this to be bs based on their schedual, and what was said yesterday), and that it was an honest mistake.
Mom and Dad showed up at pick up, and were taken for a 180 ( I can put up with a lot and have ie late pick ups, frustrating circumstances, lack of communication ), and both wanted to sit down and talk about it.
I told them I'm sorry I'm closed, I have plans, the notice explaining everything is in their bag, if you have any questions or wish to discuss the circumstances, they may call during nap time tomorrow ( they know that is when I handle phone calls).
At that point I was to angry to speak to them. They were my last pick up, and I basically had time to close my door, run to the bathroom before being sick.
