When weather conditions or other emergency situations dictate, we may cancel or delay school if school has not already begun. Also, we may close school if school has already started. Under these conditions, personal contact with each parent is virtually impossible. Therefore, we urge parents to be aware that emergency cancellations or closing announcements are made via local radio and television stations.

When the District announces a one or two hour delay, this means that buses will be dispatched starting one or two hours later than normal. Parents should be aware that any other en route delays can make the bus later yet. Further, when school is forced to close early, and your child needs to go to another person’s home for temporary care, you must have the information on file with the office at the building where your child attends.

Please keep in mind, Indian River Central School consists of:
