CANCELLATIONS
St. John School follows the Old Saybrook Public School System with regard to cancellations, delays, and early dismissals. The announcement may or may not say “St. John School” specifically. It may
only say “Old Saybrook Public Schools.” We are included in this, as we follow the Old Saybrook Public School system for cancellations. We are often able to get St. John School listed but on occasions we aren’t, due to the lines being busy. Please follow what it says for the Old Saybrook Public Schools. This information can be found on the radio station 1420(WLIS) and on TV channels 3, 8, or 30. Please do not call the school.
If you suspect a cancellation, please:
1. Listen to your radio, check the TV.
2. Advise your child of what to do in case of an early dismissal.
3. Check to be sure that school is in session before you drop your child off on snowy or icy mornings.
When there is a delay, there will be NO BEFORE CARE available in the morning. Students are not to be brought to school more than fifteen minutes ahead of the delayed opening time. If there is an early dismissal, there will be NO AFTER CARE.
Should it be necessary to cancel school when classes are already in session, notices will be broadcast by the radio and T.V. stations listed above...
Parents who live out of town should use discretion in driving their child to school. If the road conditions are not good in your town, please feel free to keep your child home.
