Our District

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION

Effective July 1, 2008 we started using a new emial and texting system to notify you of emergency situations, events, important messages, and special announcements about our district and your individual school. Please sign up for Ed Alert if you have not already done so.

Elementary parent squads are to make courtesy calls early in the fall to test the phone chain. Parents are asked to keep emergency numbers current.

  • Emergency closing prior to start of the school day: Any closing prior to the start of the school day will be posted on our home page, an Ed Alert will be sent out, and announced by the following radio stations:

WMTR 1250 AM
WNNJ 1360 AM
WAWZ 99.1 FM
TV Stations
Channel 4, 5, 7, and 12

Late openings (2 hour delay) due to inclement weather will also be announced by Ed Alert, radio and TV. If the closing is limited to several or one school, the phone squad (elementary only) will make notifications as well.

  • Emergency closing requiring early dismissal: Should a unique weather situation (or other emergency condition) cause the Superintendent to make the decision to dismiss schools early, an Ed Alert message will be sent, and phone calls will be made to elementary school parents only.

Parents must take responsibility for making arrangements for the safety of their youngsters in the event that there is no one at home when a child arrives home, and for making certain that the youngsters understand these arrangements.

Emergency Authorization Information

Each year parents will receive an emergency authorization card which should be completed and returned immediately. The information is used to contact you or your authorized designee should an emergency arise. Notify the school office of any changes.
