Delayed Opening and Early Dismissal Information

DELAYED OPENING:
In the event of inclement weather, the Lynbrook Public Schools may have a two-hour delayed opening. A delayed opening might occur when it is obvious that a storm has ended or is about to end, the streets have not yet been satisfactorily cleared, but the roads should be safe for travel within a few hours. By delaying the opening of school by two hours, we would be able to provide instruction to our students rather than close school for the entire day. In a delayed opening, all schools would simply open exactly two hours after they would normally open. Additionally, in-district and out-of-district students who receive bus transportation would be picked up two hours later than they usually are. All morning clubs, extra help and other morning activities would be cancelled when there is a delayed opening. Parents are advised to watch for the buses, as road conditions could cause buses to arrive earlier or later than expected. Afternoon dismissals and bus schedules beyond the first two hours of the day would remain unchanged.
 
Delayed Opening Times:
            Elementary Schools: 10:30 AM
            Middle Schools: 9:20 AM
            High School: 9:30 AM
 
 
EARLY DISMISSAL
In the event of inclement weather, the Lynbrook Public Schools may need to implement a two-hour early dismissal. An early dismissal might occur when the weather forecast predicts that a storm may not begin until early afternoon thus making the afternoon dismissal difficult. By dismissing two-hours earlier, we would be able to provide instruction to our students
for part of the day rather than close school for the entire day. In an early dismissal, all schools would be dismissed exactly two hours earlier than the normally scheduled dismissal time.  
Additionally, in-district and out-of-district students who receive bus transportation would be picked up two hours earlier than they usually are. All afternoon clubs, extra help, after school care program and other after school activities would be cancelled. Parents are advised to watch for the buses, as road conditions could cause buses to arrive earlier or later than expected.
 
Should a child not be picked up by a pre-approved adult, the district will exhaust all emergency contacts in order to ensure each child is picked up earlier. 
 
IMPORTANT: The decision to call an early dismissal will be made before the school day begins in order for families to make arrangements for an early pickup.  The decision will not be made while school is in session.
 
Early Dismissal Times:
            Elementary Schools: 1:00 PM
            Middle Schools: 12:40 PM
            High School: 12:52 PM
