As today ended up being our first delayed opening of the year, we wanted to share a few reminders:
** This year you are looking for St. Teresa of Calcutta Church on the television instead of Saint James School. This will indicate that both our parish schools are closed, delayed, or dismissing early. These notices are being posted on channel 3 (WFSB).
** You should have received a text message from our FACTS Emergency Alert System indicating that school was delayed. If you did not receive this notification, please reply to this email with your cell phone number so we can ensure your number is correct.
** Saint James School follows what Manchester Public Schools does with respect to weather-related delayed openings, closures, and dismissals. If you see MPS on the television, a text message from the school and the notice on WFSB should follow shortly.
** When there is a delayed opening, the AM Preschool Programs (only) are cancelled for that day.
