How does the district make a decision to close or delay school?

When it comes to making the decision to delay or close schools because of weather conditions, Hudson Falls officials consider a number of factors, including bus transportation, parent and student drivers, as well as student walkers. The district works with the Town of Kingsbury to make an assessment of the road conditions between four and five in the morning.

If conditions warrant closing, then the district will post to our local news stations,  website, and social media channels.

Aside from early morning decisions, there may also be days that school needs to be dismissed early to make sure students and staff get home safely. When these changes happen, it is communicated to parents and guardians in as timely a manner as possible. In those cases, the district makes use of our ParentSquare automated communications system. To ensure you receive the messages, please contact our district registrar to update the contact information for your students at (518) 681-4279.
