School Closings
Hebrew Academy announcements will be made via the following media outlets (or their website), starting at 6 am:
- WRGB—Channel 6
- WTEN—Channel 10
- WNYT—Channel 13
- WXXA (FOX) Channel 23
- YNN Your News Now Channel 9
- The Times Union
The announcements are the best way to determine whether or not classes are in session. Parents should not call the school office or school personnel at home regarding school closings or early dismissals.
If there is a delayed opening, it will be consistently a two hour delay and classes will begin at 10:00 a.m. If there is a delayed opening, verify that your school district is providing bus transportation and any changes in its schedule from the media or with your school district. Please do not drop child(en) off earlier than 9:45.
If school is already in session and we must have an early or emergency dismissal, parents will be notified by phone, in addition to the media announcements. Contact the office if your student/s will be going home in a different way than they normally go home. Parents must indicate on the emergency forms where they can be reached in case of an early dismissal. We must also have the name and telephone number of an alternate person to call, such as a neighbor or relative, who can be notified if the parents cannot be reached.
