In the case of an early release, every effort will be made to make a decision prior to 10:00 a.m. in order to follow the standard early release schedule. However, a decision could be made at anytime to dismiss earlier or later than the ‘standard’ schedule. In either case, the early release dismissal times are listed on the GPS Web Site. It is suggested that if there is a chance of inclement weather, and parents/guardians will not be available that day due to work or other obligations, that parents/guardians check in with emergency contacts and make arrangements in case an early release is called.
*The following methods of communication will be used for notification of an unscheduled Early Release:
- GPS Web Site: www.greenwichschools.org
- Local Radio Station: WGCH
- Gmail for GPS staff
- Parentlink email to primary contacts - all schools (no call/no emergency contacts)
*The following additional methods of communication MAY be used for notification of an unscheduled Early Release:
- School ParentLink: Schools will use their ParentLink electronic telephone and/or email system at the discretion of each school’s building leader and based on the individual school’s Early Release notification protocol
- Other local and/or regional radio and television stations
