Emergency School Closing / Delayed Opening

  • If a decision is made to delay the opening of schoool, to close for the day, or to cancel after-school and weekend activities, information is rapidly distributed to the school community via these communications channels:

    Website

    A notice is prominently placed in a red background across the top of the homepage, and on each school's website.

    Telephone

    Phone calls are made to families via the Blackboard school-to-home messaging system.

    Social Media

    Information is shared via the District's official Facebook page, Instagram profile, and X (formerly Twitter) news feed. Be sure to join these communities by "liking or following." 

    WDMC-TV

    The District's education channel features the news prominently. Find it on Cablevision Channel 75 and Verizon FiOS Channel 38.
