Where to find out about unscheduled school closures

In case of an emergency or bad weather, school might be delayed or canceled. If the regular school schedule is changed, local radio and television stations will be notified.

Emergencies may include inclement weather, power outages or a need to alter an individual school schedule.

“Schools closed” means that all schools will be closed for that one day only. All school related activities will be canceled. If schools close early, parents are asked to make arrangements for their child’s care.

“Late start” means that all schools will start late by the amount of time specified for that one day only. School related activities may or may not be altered.

If your district is not mentioned, we will operate on the regular schedule. 

There are four ways you can find updated information on school schedule: autodialer, radio/tv, the internet, and by phone.

AUTODIALER

Both Bethel and Franklin Pierce have  the ability to send out a recorded phone message to both parents and staff. In the event of an unscheduled school closure or late start, the autodialer will be activated.
