Emergency Closings

When there is no school due to stormy weather or other emergency situations the  following schedule is utilized.  

  • 7:05 a.m. All schools closed for the day  

  • 11:30 a.m. All schools closed for the afternoon  

Timely notice of school cancellations shall be given to radio, as well as, television  stations in the Greater Portland area. 

The decision as to whether or not to close school is made at an early hour. Because the  weather may change, parents of small children especially are expected to exercise  individual judgment based on the distance to travel and the physical condition of the  child. Older children should learn to protect themselves from the weather and should be  able to attend school on most days.
