Delayed openings delay the opening of school by two (2) hours. The delayed opening schedule is as follows:

• Grades 9-12: Report to their period 3 classes at 9:30 a.m. hey will remain in class until 9:45 a.m. and then proceed to period 4. From here, the day proceeds as normal.
• Magnet Classes: When there is a delayed opening, Magnet classes in all schools are cancelled. Students are to report directly to their home school by 9:30 a.m. for period 3.
• Field Trips: Field trips that are scheduled to go out on the morning of a delayed opening will be cancelled. At the discretion of the principal, trips whose departure time falls safely within the shortened school day may go out as scheduled. However, field trips will be cancelled if road or weather conditions continue to remain hazardous after the delayed opening.
• BOCES Classes: When there is a delayed opening, all AM BOCES Barry Tech and other Occupational Education programs are cancelled. All AM BOCES students should report to their home schools at their normal start times.
• School Lunch: Lunch will be available and served to all students at their regularly scheduled lunchtime.
• Dismissal Time: A delayed opening does not extend the school day and has no effect on dismissal time. Afterschool activities will as usual proceed unless cancellation is announced.
• Student Absence: Please follow the regular procedure and call your ATTENDANCE OFFICE if your child will not be attending school.
• Closing School: A delayed opening is subject to change if the weather or road conditions remain hazardous. The Superintendent retains the option to close schools if the potential for hazardous conditions continues.
