Snow Cancellations and Delayed Openings

Superintendent Christopher Hottel consults with many sources before delaying or canceling school.  In addition to checking US Weather Bureau and local forecasts, he confers with the Nashua Department of Public Works, FIRST Student Transportation, and the Nashua Police Department regarding road and walking conditions

The decision to delay or cancel school is based on the best available information at the time the decision is made; however, depending on varying conditions, the decision to keep a child home ultimately rests with each parent/guardian.

Early dismissals are considered only in extreme circumstances because of child care issues.  Early dismissal is rare; nevertheless, parents/guardians must plan for that rare event.  We advise parents/guardians to consult with child care providers and agree on a plan for child care arrangements in the event an early dismissal is called.  Equally important, we advise parents/guardians to make children aware of those special arrangements in anticipation of possible early dismissals.
