Emergency Information

No School - Delayed Opening - Emergencies

In an emergency, school closing or delayed opening, the district will make every effort to communicate with you via the most relevant and available means, including:

·        An automated phone message using Connect Ed.

·        A recorded message on 220-EMER (220-3637). Please do not call the schools or police.

·        Local radio and television stations. Radio stations WVOX (1460 AM), WFAS (1230 AM) and others carry school cancellation notices from 6:30-9:00 am.

·        The district website: www.mamkschools.org

When weather is uncertain, the superintendent may call a delayed opening of two hours. Radio stations should also carry this information, as well as any pertinent information regarding transportation outside the district, if it differs from the district's own "bad weather" schedule (e.g., Mamaroneck District public schools may have a delayed opening, while transportation to schools outside the district may be canceled.  This is because surrounding school districts may have more severe or treacherous weather conditions than we.) Please make contingency plans for your children; children cannot be left at school since teachers and administrators will not be arriving until the delayed opening of school.

In an extreme emergency the Superintendent of Schools may dismiss school early. Every effort will be made to alert parents via the means listed above.
