Closings and Delays

Emergency and Inclement Weather School Closings, Delays and Early Dismissals

Whenever a school cancellation, late opening, or early dismissal is necessary, the Superintendent’s Office makes every effort to make the decision as early as possible. Once the decision is made, notification to families and the community is made via Parent Square, an electronic notification system, Facebook posts (https://www.facebook.com/easthamptonctschools/ ), as well as area radio and television stations.

The primary district Parent Notification System is ParentSquare. Notifications currently will be sent to registered email addresses and phone numbers.

For help to verify and adjust your notification options, please visit our ParentSquare and Powerschool resource page at: https://www.easthamptonps.org/page/powerschool-parentsquare

Text alerts will be used instead of phone calls for routine cancellation of school due to snow or other weather situations. ParentSquare information is populated by the school data base through PowerSchool.

In case of a school delay, the start time would be 2 hours later than your child's school normal start time. Morning buses will run consistent with the delayed opening schedule.
