In the event of weather-related closures or delays, the district uses a mass-communications system (ParentSquare) to notify guardians about school closures or delays due to inclement weather. Phone calls and emails go to the phone numbers and email addresses that the District has on record for a student's guardian(s). We recommend that you verify the guardian contact information for your children. You can review this information in the Campus Parent Portal, under the More link.

  • If Scarsdale Schools are open, transportation will be provided whenever possible, but delays should be expected.
