Cancellations
We are excited to let you know that we will have a new and better way of informing you this coming year. Stay tuned for more information!
In case of inclement weather conditions, please listen between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM to local radio and TV stations listed below for school cancellations or delayed openings.
Radio and TV stations to listen to:
WERZ 107.1 FM (Portsmouth)
WOKQ 97.5 FM (Dover)

When school is closed without prior notice, for instance during the day, your child may not be able to follow his/her usual directions. Please make sure that you complete and return the Emergency Release Plans form so that we may know the plan you have for your child. Here are some ideas to make it easier for us all:
- Make arrangements with a neighbor to receive your child if you are away from home during the day.
- Give your child specific instructions so that he/she will know what arrangements you have made and filled out on the Emergency Release Plansform.
- Please do not rely on calling the school, or the school calling you, as the telephone lines are always busy in emergency situations.
In the event of cancellation of school, all activities, such as athletic events, conferences, music lessons, etc., scheduled for that same day or evening are also cancelled.
