Emergency School Closings


Snow closings or weather related information for the Wyckoff School District will be posted on the district's web address under "Wyckoff's Top Links" - Emergency School Closings:

When road conditions at 6:00 a.m. indicate to the police that it might be advisable to keep school buses off the roads, a joint decision by the FLOW area Superintendents is made concerning the closing of schools in the regional district.

When a storm develops during the day which may cause buses to have trouble getting children to their homes, it might be advisable to close school early. If time permits, class parents will notify parents by phone. Under such conditions we ask that parents bear with us and be at home. Please establish with your child where he/she should go in the event that you should not be at home.

Parents may determine whether schools are to be closed in the morning by:

  • Listening to commercial radio stations WOR AM 710 on your dial between 6:30 and 7:30 am or WINS AM 1010 on your dial between 6:00 and 8:00 am
  • Listening for fire sirens: 6:00 am ---3 blasts, 7:00 a.m. ---3 blasts
  • Tuning in News 12 New Jersey or Fox 5 News
  • Receiving a recorded message via the district's "Swiftreach" Emergency Notification System.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CONCERNING THE CLOSING OF SCHOOL. THEY CANNOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR CALL COULD DELAY AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE.
