DELAYED OPENINGS DUE TO WEATHER

During an inclement weather event, additional time may be required for township roads to be cleared and school buildings safe for arrival of staff and students.

Delayed openings due to inclement weather will be announced via ParentSquare Alerts, our district website, Facebook and Twitter, as well as WABC-TV Channel 7 and News 12 New Jersey (if possible).

Families of North Brunswick Schools students are automatically enrolled in the Emergency Contact Communications System and will receive notifications at the phone number(s) and/or email addresses that they provided.

Should a delayed opening be implemented, the opening of all district schools and buildings will be delayed

2 HOURS:

In a period of temporary inclement weather, a delayed opening will be implemented. Opening of schools will be delayed 2 hours as follows:

• High School: Delay from 7:45 AM to 9:45 AM Dismissal 2:25 PM

• Middle School: Delay from 7:45 Am to 9:45 AM Dismissal 2:25 PM

Transportation will also be delayed 2 hours. For example, if your bus is scheduled for 8:10 AM, it will come at 10:10 AM. Walkers and students being driven to school should plan their arrival 2 hours later. Lunch will be served. If a delayed opening occurs on a day when school is scheduled to dismiss early (i.e. 1:30 PM closing), the school day will be extended to regular closing times.
