SCHOOL CLOSINGS
The Epping School District uses the automatic telephone AlertNow® system to inform students and staff about school cancellations, delayed openings, and early dismissals. Please notify the school if your home, work, or cell phone contact information changes.
Cancellations and delayed openings are also broadcast on:
- Television - WMUR, Channel 9
- Radio - WERZ FM 107.1
- Radio - WOKQ FM 97.5
School delays and closings will also be posted on the front page of this website immediately after the decision is made to delay and/or cancel school for the day. Please note that when a storm is predicted, but has not actually started prior to 6:00 am, the district may call for a 2-hour delay to determine the accuracy of the forecast. The district may then change the delay to a cancellation by 8:00 am. This practice was put in place after a previous situation in which the storm prediction was inaccurate and school was cancelled for the day. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we attempt to make good decisions regarding school delays and closings.
A school delay calls for a 2 hour delay in the opening of school. Bus transportation is also delayed by 2 hours.
School cancellations and delays apply to:
- Epping students attending Epping Schools and other schools approved by the District.
- All school sponsored activities.
- All before and after school activities.
- Before and after school town recreation programs located in Epping Schools.
If school is dismissed early, all after school activities are cancelled.
School closings are subject to School Board Policy EBCD Emergency Closings and EBCE School Closings.
