Stay informed, and stay in touch
There are a variety of information sources you can monitor to stay up to date on our school district's decisions to close school or shorten the day, or postpone programs and events due to the cold or other factors, including:
SchoolMessenger
Local media
You can find information from the Times Union and on the following radio and TV stations: CBS6 Albany (Ch. 6), TWC (Ch. 9), WTEN (Ch. 10), WNYT (Ch. 13), WROW-AM 590, WGY-AM 810, WFLY-FM 92.3, WYJB-FM 95.5, WTRY-FM 98.3, WRVE-FM 99.5, WPYX-FM 106.5, WGNA-FM 107.7
In instances where the district decides a late start is in order, school will begin two hours later than the normal start time. A delay means if your child's bus normally picks up at 8 a.m., your child would be picked up at 10 a.m. for a two-hour delay.
If you usually drop your child off at school or your child walks to school, please make sure it corresponds with the delay. Please do not send your child to school at the normal start time when school is delayed. The building will not be open, and there will be no staff available to supervise children. Please also note that breakfast is not served at school on mornings that begin with a delay.
When it is necessary to close school early, the superintendent will commence with an early release of all schools either one, two or three hours earlier than their typical dismissal time. It is our goal on early release days to have a minimum of four hours of instruction.
In addition, when school closes early all after-school activities and childcare services are cancelled unless otherwise announced. If your child is transported to an after-school program and school closes early, you must make arrangements to have your child picked up at the school building. No alternate transportation arrangements can be made on short notice.
