School Cancellation, Delayed Opening, After School Programs,
and Early Release Days


It is occasionally necessary to cancel school, cancel school events, or delay opening because of snow or other emergencies. The class schedule on the day of return to school after a cancellation is the one that is scheduled for that day. If the school opening is delayed, buses will run one and a half hours after their regularly scheduled time, unless otherwise specified. All school cancellations and delayed openings will be communicated via Listserv, posted on our school website, and at www.ctweather.com.

Announcements will also be made over the following radio stations: WICC (600 AM); WEZN (99.9 FM); WLAD (800 AM); and television stations WTIC (Fox61); Cablevision Channel 12; WFSB-TV (Channel 3); WTNH-TV (Channel 8).

Information on school delays and cancellations, as well as athletic and non-athletic events, can be accessed by dialing 938-2508 or (888) 938-4015.
