General School Cancellations
School cancellations due to natural or man-made conditions can be difficult and are dependent on many factors. When possible emergency conditions exist, the Northfield Township superintendents confer to make a decision that is consistent for all school districts within the township whenever possible. This is in the best interest of families that have children attending more than one school district. A major factor in this decision is the ability for the bus companies to make their normal pickups and deliveries in a safe and timely manner.
If a decision is made to cancel school, the superintendent will contact staff, students and parents using the district electronic notification systems, school and district websites and the Emergency Closing Center. Notifications will not be made between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Normally, students and parents should expect notifications to take place sometime between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m.
It is important to note that regardless of the decision to operate or cancel school, each parent should consider the situation as it relates to their individual student and take the action that is appropriate.
