FLCS Closings and Delays

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS & DELAYS In the event of severe inclement weather, FLCS may be closed, but because we have students coming in from 11 school districts, FLCS never delays the start of a school day.

In other words, FLCS is either closed completely or open at the regular time.

However, your children may arrive at FLCS late - without being counted tardy - under these conditions:

• There is a weather-related delay in your home school district. For example, if your district delays school by one hour, your children can arrive at FLCS by 8:55 instead of 7:55; if your district delays by two hours, they may be two hours late, etc.
• There is a weather-related delay in the Seneca Falls public schools. Since you would have to drive through potentially dangerous weather to get to FLCS, your children can arrive at FLCS late, based on the length of the Seneca Fall district's official delay.
• They arrive on a delayed bus (or a bus that is late for any reason). You do not need to drive your children to school to ensure they are on time.

Also, if your home district closes for the day but FLCS is still open, you may keep your children home from FLCS. It's your option.

If FLCS is closing...

Please do not call the school, your child's teacher or the Principal to see if school is closed. Closings will be announced solely on the following web site and radio and TV stations (if you see an FLCS announcement anywhere else, and you can't confirm through the following sources, ignore it):

1. FLCS website
2. Radio stations
   • WALL 99.3 FM
   • WNYR 98.5 FM
   • WSFW 1110 AM
   • WGVA 1240 AM
   • WCGR 1550 AM
   • WAUB 1590 AM
   • WFLR 1570 AM
   • WFLR 95.9 FM
3. TV Stations
   • Channel 13 in Rochester
   • Channel 9 in Syracuse

If you happen to see or hear an announcement other than from these sources, verify it through one of the stations or the web site listed above. If you don't find the closing announcement there, ignore it.

Even though FLCS is in the Seneca Falls School District, we do not necessarily close because the Seneca Falls schools do.
