School Cancellation Notification Procedures

Whenever possible, school closings will be announced the evening before an anticipated storm, however that is not always possible.  Emergency automated telephone calls will be placed between 5:30 and 6:00 AM to notify families of an unanticipated school cancelation or delayed opening.  In the event that the Internet or telephone lines are down and calls are not successfully transmitted, the information may also be found on the WPS website at https://www.westfordk12.us/ and/or on local television/radio stations.

Morning preschool classes are canceled when a delayed opening has been announced.  In the case of an early release, notification of the afternoon preschool cancelation will be communicated via the same procedure.

The automated calls are considered “emergency notifications” and will be made district-wide to all listed numbers.  An opt-out option is not available. If contact numbers need to be updated, please notify your child’s school office.
