2023-24 School Closings and Delays

Closings & Delays

 

Inclement Weather Procedures and Emergency Closing Notification

 

Listed below is important information that you will need to know regarding school procedures in the event of school delays and/or early dismissals.

 

Greenwich Catholic School utilizes text messages and "robo-calls" to inform parents of a school closing or delayed opening. Please be sure to communicate any phone number changes to the Main Office.

 

Decisions regarding weather closure / delay:

The Superintendent of Greenwich Public Schools decides if there will be a school closing or delayed opening due to weather. Please do not call the school for information about a closure. The text message and "robo-call" you receive will include all pertinent information. 

 

It is important that parents have an alternate drop-off / pick-up plan in place, if necessary, to be sure their child has adequate transportation in the event of an unexpected delayed opening or early dismissal.

 

School Closing Policies

 

When it is decided that schools are to be closed for inclement weather, an announcement will be made by Administration in concurrence with the Superintendent of Greenwich Public Schools. Typically, decisions are made by 6am, except in extreme circumstances.
