Reminder about how B-P communicates about closings, ...
With winter weather on the horizon, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind our school community about how Broadalbin-Perth communicates weather-related announcements, including closings, delays, and early dismissals. Where can I find the announcements for closings/delays? Once the decision is made to change the school district’s regular operating schedule, that information is shared through a variety of ways: The district website; To parents, students and faculty/staff through ParentSquare; and The Capital Region School Closing Network, which informs local TV and radio stations. Note, Broadalbin-Perth does not control when or if TV and radio stations publicize school closings and delays. All school districts in the area use the Capital Region School Closing Network. Broadalbin-Perth does not publish school closings or delays or other time-sensitive notices on social media because the district can't control when or even if a post might appear in a user's feed. It is best to rely on more than one source of information when it comes to weather-related announcements. This is particularly true in situations that involve power outages. Emergency preparedness agencies have advised that residents have access to a battery-powered radio so that they can receive information if other communication channels are unavailable. About ParentSquare It is recommended that all parents either download the Broadalbin-Perth ParentSquare mobile app or make sure their contact information is up-to-date in ParentSquare. All parents with valid email addresses and cell phone numbers in ParentSquare will automatically receive email and text message alerts, and users of the district’s mobile app will receive push notifications to their mobile devices whenever school is closed or delayed. When in doubt, it is recommended that parents check the district website for the most up-to-date and accurate information. Non-parent members of the community can sign up to receive general district notifications, including about school closings and delays, by emailing Director of Communications Michele Kelley at kelleym@bpcsd.org . Why would school be canceled/delayed? While snow and ice are the reasons for most school closings and delays, they are not the only possible reasons. Especially during the winter months, the regular school schedule could be disrupted because of a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with snow or ice: Extreme wind chills, boiler failures, and water main breaks have all affected schools in upstate New York during recent winters. At what time would school be canceled/delayed? Superintendent of Schools Stephen Tomlinson must make decisions about closing or delaying the start of the Broadalbin-Perth school day by 5:30 a.m. When school operates on its regular schedule, buses are on the road to pick up junior/senior high school students by 5:45 a.m. “When considering the possibility of closing school or delaying its start, my top priority is always the safety of our students,” Tomlinson said. “We have to make the decision before most schools in our area, so we can’t wait to see what other districts are doing. I consult with our transportation and buildings and grounds staff, and we look at road conditions, weather forecasts, temperatures, and the operating conditions of our buses and school buildings when making these decisions.”
