School Closure/Remote Day/Snow Day Notifications School Closure/Remote Day/Snow Day Notifications

We want to tell/remind everyone about how we notify families regarding weather related delays and other kinds of changes to the day. In a nutshell, we send out an email to our families and students. Then we post on WMUR.


Typically Snow Days are remote learning days for our students. They go to their teacher's webpage (on the Kreiva website) for detailed directions and each teacher will have their Office Hours posted. Paras will reach out to students as well by email.


To best help be ready for the remote learning days:


  • Make sure there is a laptop available with internet.
  • Make sure your student can get into their Google Classroom, Alma and student email.




A traditional fun Snow Day will be called at least once!
