Closings and Delays

Closings, delayed openings and early dismissals are announced as follows: 

• Early morning severe weather closings and delays will be sent via email and text. We generally do not make early morning phone calls. We will use the numbers parents have registered with ParentSquare. Be sure to set your notification preferences to receive email, text, and/or app notifications.  

• Early dismissal messages are sent via email, text, and phone.  If an early dismissal is called in the early morning before school has begun, it will be sent via email and text only, with no phone call. We generally do not make early morning phone calls. Be sure to set your notification preferences to receive email, text, and/or app notifications.  

• Notice is posted on the district website home page (www.glastonburyus.org). 

• Television Station announcements on Channels 3, 8, 61, and 30. 

School closings are generally announced between 5:00 am and 6:00 am. Early dismissals are announced as soon as possible. 

• A standard school delay time in the morning of 2 hours will occur for severe weather. Morning preschool is cancelled in the event of a school delay. If a delay occurs on an early dismissal Wednesday, the usual early dismissal time will be maintained.

• A standard early dismissal time of 90 minutes (1½ hours) will occur for severe weather. Afternoon preschool is cancelled in the event of an early dismissal. Regardless of the day of the week, all early dismissals will be in accordance with the chart below which shows the approximate time by building for school delays and early dismissals.
