Inclement Weather, Early Dismissal and Delayed Opening Policy

SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS: Follow Stratford Schools
Please listen to local broadcasts, both TV and Radio, should the weather be questionable when you get up on a school morning. We follow the town of Stratford. If Stratford cancels school, so do we! Please listen carefully as many have confused the town of Stafford with the town of Stratford.

SCHOOL DELAYS: Follow Stratford Schools - usually 90 minute delay
Once again, Please listen to local broadcasts, both TV and Radio, should the weather be in question when you get up on a school morning. We follow the town of Stratford. If Stratford has a delay, so do we! If you can not listen yourself, please have a friend or family member who can and call you. Do not call the school. We get overwhelmed with inquires on a typical snow day.

If we start late, the doors will open at 9:00 a.m. (1 ½ hours later than usual) and no child may be dropped at school earlier than 9:00 a.m. Classes begin at 9:30 a.m., including AM Preschool. AM preschool dismisses at 11:00 as usual. Any student arriving after 9:30 must be signed-in tardy. There is no change to dismissal times. Afternoon Preschool follows the usual schedule. There is aftercare and after school when we experience a delay.

In the event that we have a planned early dismissal day and Stratford announces a delay of school, then we will NOT be in session unless otherwise determined in adance.

PLANNED EARLY DISMISSAL: 11:25 a.m. On regularly scheduled half days dismissal time is 11:25 a.m.

EMERGENCY EARLY DISMISSAL DUE TO BAD WEATHER: 12:15 pm
On any day that we begin school and bad weather or some other situation requires the town to call an unexpected early dismissal, we will dismiss at 12:15 p.m. You must listen to local radio if there is the possibility that the weather may turn bad or if bad weather is forecast. Bus service is still provided at 12:15 p.m.
