Tardy- Students are considered tardy if they are not in their proper places at the official beginning of the school day.  Unavoidable exceptions, however, will be excused at the discretion of the principal.  A written excuse from the parent is necessary if a child is tardy.

EMERGENCY CLOSING & DELAYED OPENINGS - Snow or another emergency may require a delayed opening or closing of school. Our notification system will be in place and will notify staff members and parents of a delayed opening, early dismissal or closing of school.  TV stations WABC and WNBC will broadcast notification of such emergencies.  Also, watch the district's website (www.chester-nj.org) for postings.
