Dear Parents
With the storm currently predicted for next week as well as preparing for the upcoming winter season, I thoughtthis would be a good opportunity to remind everyone of the process we have in place for a school closing or delay.
We call the television stations – Channels 4, 5, 7 and FOX 25. Radio stations receive the information from that call as radio stations are not individually called. We also put information on our school website when school is cancelled or delayed.
Three televisions stations have notified us that they have a free feature for notifying parents of school closings and delays. Parents have an option to sign up for a text message/cell phone call/email (whichever you choose when signing up) from the following TV stations:
WCVB/ChanneI5 at:

NBC/Channel 7 (includes Channel 56) at:
http://www.whdh.com click on “Snow Day Alert”
FOX 25 at:

I hope you find this helpful as we head into another winter season.
