NO SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

SCHOOL CANCELLATION

The decision to cancel school will be made after all weather and road conditions have been evaluated on the basis of the information available at the time. Parents should use their discretion regarding sending their children to school on inclement weather days. “NO SCHOOL” announcements will be broadcasted on television stations (Channels 4, 5, 7, 25 and NECN), on One Call Now, our telephone notification system, and Twitter@tpsdistri 

Schools will be closed only in the case of severe, inclement weather. Announcements relative to closing schools for inclement weather will be carried by TV stations, X@tpsdistrict, and through the district’s telephone notification system “One Call Now.” Delayed Openings:  Superintendent will notify the public by the same procedure as “no school” announcements. Parents and students are requested not to call the Police Station, Fire Station, Bus Contractors, School Principals, or the Superintendent of Schools for “no school” information.  Information will not be available from these sources.
