• School Delays and Closings

    Addison Central School District uses the School Messenger notification system to send emergency messages via phone, cellular phone, email, and text messaging. This system relies on the accuracy of information held within our student information system. To assist in keeping these records accurate, the district recommends all parent(s)/guardian(s) contact your student's school if there are any changes to current phone, cellular phone, and email records.

    Delays - We will use a delayed opening when appropriate with a possible closing if necessary. The Superintendent will make the decision to delay the opening of school(s) by one or two hours only.  Parents should continue listening to the radio/TV in the event that school needs to be closed after a one or two hour delay. Delays will not be extended beyond the initial delay period. Buses will pick up students 2 hours after their normal pick up times. School will end at the normal time.

    Closings - The decision to close district schools will be made by the Superintendent of Schools, usually before 5:45 AM. A call will be initiated by the district shortly after that time.

    In addition to the School Messenger notification, the following radio/television stations broadcast delays and closings.  Please be aware that the district cannot control when the announcement will actually be broadcasted.
