From the Huntington School District:

Monday, January 26, 2015

Please note that as a precaution and in anticipation of the forthcoming weather event, we will be dismissing today as follows:

Jack Abrams STEM Magnet, Woodhull Intermediate and J. Taylor Finley Middle School will dismiss at 1:05 p.m.

Flower Hill, Jefferson, Southdown, and Washington Primary Schools will dismiss at 1:40 p.m.

Huntington High School’s afternoon exams will be administered as scheduled, with buses remaining in place as scheduled.

All afterschool and evening events will be postponed or canceled. All Schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, with all afterschool and evening events postponed or canceled.

Please travel safely today and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary tomorrow.

From the South Huntington School District

At this point the radar models (and a look out the window) have the snow moving in at a faster rate than originally expected. As a result, we are going to initiate an early dismissal, which releases our K-8 students according to the schedule shared earlier in the year and copied below.

Our high school is already on a modified testing schedule and we will still be administering the English and Algebra I Common Core Regents to our students as scheduled but moving that up to 11:15AM. This means that those English Regents buses will be arriving an hour early.

For your information, the early release times are as follows:

Stimson Middle School and Silas Wood: 12 p.m.

Birchwood and Maplewood: 12 p.m.

Oakwood and Countrywood: 1 p.m.

Of course, all after school and evening activities are cancelled and school will not be in session tomorrow (Tuesday). We will be in touch on Tuesday evening to provide updates regarding the snow removal progress.

Please stay safe.
