Hampton School District SAU 90

A delayed opening procedure may be used for reasons such as severe weather, unplowed roads, or heat/power/water problems in the schools. The time schedule is delayed for a designated period, usually two hours. This means that students should be at bus stops two hours later than normal and the arrival time for all students is pushed ahead by the indicated time period. Supervision for students is available beginning ten minutes before the rescheduled starting time. Therefore, students may not arrive prior to re-schedule starting time. Please be aware that lunches are still served on days of a two-hour delayed opening, and dismissal times are at the regular time on these days.

The Hampton School District uses an automated telephone messaging system through Apptegy/Thrillshare. This system automatically calls parents’ home telephone numbers to alert them of a school delay, unanticipated early dismissal, or cancellation due to inclement weather.

Announcements are posted on the following television stations, as well as the SAU 90 website at www.sau90.org.

Please monitor for updates and follow-up announcements. A delayed opening may be changed to a full cancellation of the school day if anticipated improvement does not occur. In the interest of student and staff safety, schools within SAU 90 are closed if severe weather causes unsafe driving conditions or if, for any other reason, attendance at schools jeopardizes the safety or health of students and staff. In the event of the cancellation of school due to inclement weather, all after-school activities including athletics and parent conferences are canceled.

Please do not call the school, police department, or fire department to find out if school is in session or a delay is in effect. These calls tie up telephone lines that must be open for emergencies.
