Information regarding snow days and early dismissals based on inclement weather.

• SNOW DAYS:  Based on this year’s calendar, we have 6 snow days.  When there’s a snow day, a phone call, email and text message will be sent out as soon as possible, but typically around 5:30 a.m.  You can also watch for school information on the local news channels and on our website. 

• CODE BLUE FOR WALKERS:  A Code Blue for Walkers is announced during extreme weather conditions, such as extremely low temperatures. While the UE District policy generally limits school transportation to students in grades 1-5 (0.5+ miles), 6-8 (1.1+ miles), and 9-12 (1.6+ miles), an exception is made during Code Blue for Walkers. On these days, walkers who do not live near their school will be offered transportation regardless of the distance between their home and their school building.   Please click here for information: Transportation | Union-Endicott Central School District 

• REMOTE INSTRUCTION:  We will not consider remote instruction until all 6 snow days have been used. 

• ONE OR TWO-HOUR DELAY:  The bus will arrive one/two hours later than usual, and school will start one/two hours later than usual.  There is no zero period at the high school on a delayed schedule. 

• EARLY DISMISSAL:  If snow is arriving early in the day, we will follow an early dismissal schedule.  This is the same as the parent-conference schedule, and it gets children home at the soonest time possible.

Early dismissal times:

AGM - 10:45 a.m.
CFJ - 11:15 a.m.
GFJ - 11:40 a.m.
TJW - 11:40 a.m.
LWW – 11:55 a.m.
JFS – 10:15 a.m.
UEHS – 11:30 a.m.

• TWO-HOUR EARLY RELEASE:  If snow is arriving later in the day, we will follow a 2-hour early release schedule.  This gets children home approximately two hours before their normal time.

Two-hour release dismissal times:

AGM – 12:25 p.m.
CFJ – 12:55 p.m.
GFJ – 1:25 p.m.
TJW – 1:20 p.m.
LWW – 1:55 p.m.
JFS – 12:10 p.m.
UEHS – 1:10 p.m.

As always, we work in collaboration with the local Department of Transportation to make the best decisions possible for our students and staff.
