School Closings
In the event of
snow or other hazardous weather conditions, the Teaneck Public Schools may
announce a NO-SCHOOL DAY or a DELAYED OPENING.
Announcements are
made by 6:30 a.m. on radio stations: WCBS (880 AM) and WINS (1010 AM); TV

The decision about
keeping children home in bad weather (when schools are open) is up to the
parent/guardian. If students are absent in such circumstances, teachers will
make every effort to help them make up work that has been missed.
SCHOOL CLOSING SCHEDULING
Please notify your staff of the following scheduling procedures in event of a snow day. Please be advised that the District follows two (2) schedules. Please inform your staff so that everyone is clear about the procedures because of the staff that travels between schools.
Secondary
School(s) Schedule for Grades 5-12
In the event of a snow day, we treat the snow day as if school were in session at the secondary schools.
For example at the high school: if the day before the snow day was an “A” day and the snow day would have been a “B” day; the day after the snow day is an “A” day.
For example at the
middle schools: if the day before the snow day was an “A” day and the snow day
would have been a “B” day; the day after the snow day would be a “C” day.
Elementary
School Schedule for Pre-K-4
In the event of a snow day, we would treat the snow day as if it were a “NO” day so that if the day before the snow day is an “A” day and the snow day would have been a “B” day; the day after the snow day is a “B” day.
