SCHOOL:
Important Information You Should Know: Hudson City School District has the option of delaying the start of school by two hours rather than lose an entire instructional day due to bad weather and road conditions. The District will use multiple resources to announce the day, including the Alert Now phone system. If a two-hour delay is called, school start times and bus pick up times begin two hours later than normal. If a two-hour delay is called, it is important to have alternative plans in place for childcare, particularly, since there is always the possibility that school may be canceled for the rest of the day if weather or road conditions do not improve. A second Alert Now call may take place within 60-90 minutes after the initial announcement for a two-hour delay should school be canceled for the day. HCER Before School Childcare, AM Kindergarten, and Preschool are canceled if there is a two-hour delay. For detailed information/schedules in regard to how weather delays affect the High School in particular, please refer to Mr. Wilch's December 2011 Newsletter, page 4. (See the Newsletter tab on this webpage).
