We will also send a call through “Connect-Ed,” our automated telephone communication system, as well as notifications through our district mobile app and Facebook page.

When schools are closed, bus transportation within and out of district is cancelled. This includes transportation for private, parochial, BOCES and other schools outside the area. When school opening is delayed, the delay will be automatically set for two (2) hours. Bus schedules will also be delayed, and children should arrive to their assigned bus stops one (1) hour later than the regularly scheduled time. After-school programs involving transportation will be cancelled. Normal dismissal schedules will be in effect.

In an emergency: In the annual questionnaire, parents are asked to name someone located in the Elmont, or nearby, who can be contacted in case of an emergency when parents cannot be reached. It is most important that this information is always kept up-to-date at your child's school.
