Morning closings may be announced as early as 5:30 a.m., but usually by 6:30 a.m. Whenever schools are closed for emergency reasons, continuing education classes will be cancelled that night.

Delayed openings mean all schedules will be delayed either one or two hours. Bus pickups will be approximately one or two hours later than the scheduled time. However, please continue to monitor all opening delays, as they could turn into school closings depending on the weather.

Early dismissals due to inclement weather

When the weather becomes inclement during the day and driving conditions become poor, please stay tuned to news about early dismissals through the methods discussed above. Please arrange for any changes in drop-off locations for students in the event of an emergency school closing in advance, if necessary. If you have not done so already, please contact your child's individual school for more information on how to make these arrangements.

Early dismissals held due to inclement weather or other emergencies, will be scheduled as follows:

• Elementary schools—2 p.m.

• Guilderland High School—12 p.m.

• Farnsworth Middle School—1 p.m.

• All private and parochial students—12 p.m.

Please note: Y-Time at Guilderland Elementary School, Pine Bush Elementary School, and Westmere Elementary School will only be cancelled due to inclement weather conditions if the elementary schools are dismissed before 12 p.m.
