Home > School Closing Policy


If school is to be called off for any reason, or if there is a delayed opening, the following radio and television stations will be contacted:

WZID (FM 95.7)

 

WBZ (AM 1030)

WFEA (AM 1370)

If it is necessary to call a 2-hour delay in the start of school, buses will make their normal pickups 2 hours later than the usual time, and the Bedford Early Education Program (BEEP) and morning kindergarten classes will be canceled. The Before-School Program will be delayed 2 hours. The school day will end at the usual hour.

Infrequently, and only under the most unusual circumstances, schools may be dismissed early. In the case of early closure, the middle school will be the first building to close. The elementary schools will close following the middle school bus runs. Every attempt will be made to notify parents of the early closure by calling the above radio and television stations and asking them to announce the early dismissal time.
