Closing Information

When the District will be closed or operating on a two-hour delay, we will communicate this decision in the following ways:

1. Text/Call Alert System: Our text alert system will send a notification of the change directly to your device. Please click here to sign up to receive text/call alerts from our district.
2. Social Media & Website: We will post closure information on the Weathersfield Local School District Facebook page (Weathersfield Local School District) and our district website.
3. Local News: Information about our adjustment will be shared with local television news stations WFMJ, WKBN, and WYTV. The stations will broadcast the information on their station and on their websites.
4. Timing of Announcements: Our goal is to make announcements by 5:45 a.m. for morning cancellations, giving you time to adjust your day accordingly.

The following factors are considered when making school adjustments:

1. Weather forecast: The National Weather Service defines predictors for winter weather and guidance will be followed accordingly.
2. Road Conditions & Impact on Transportation: Again, the safety of our buses and our high school drivers are top priorities. Road conditions will impact our ability to have school. Input from local law enforcement, transportation agencies, and our transportation and maintenance/grounds departments is all considered when determining whether to close or delay the start of the school day. 
3. Temperature & Wind Chill: In cases of extreme cold, we will consider cancellations based on the wind chill and factors impacting the temperature.

In the event of a two-hour delay, please keep the following information in mind:

• Buildings open exactly two hours later than normally scheduled. 
  • MRHS doors open at 9:00 a.m.
  • SES doors will open at 9:55 a.m.; classes begin at 10:15 a.m. 
• All classes run on a shortened schedule 
• Dismissal time stays the same
  • MRHS dismisses at 2:45 p.m.
  • SES dismisses at 3:35 p.m.
• Lunch will be served as usual; no breakfast
• Bus routes/pick-up locations remain the same but the pick-up time is two hours later. Drop-off times are the same.

If it becomes necessary to dismiss students early due to unexpected circumstances, such as severe weather, power outages, heating issues, or plumbing problems, we will promptly share release information through the communication channels listed above.

TCTC Students

If our district cancels school for the day, TCTC students will not be transported. 

In the event of a two-hour delay in our district, TCTC students will be transported two hours late. Pick-up remains the same.

ESC Students

Weathersfield students attending ESC classes in other districts will still be transported if the district educating that student has school and we do not.
