Snow Policy

Everything you need to know about finding out about a Snow Cancellation or Delayed Start.

Breakwater Snow Cancellations and Delayed Starts will be announced on:

• WPOR (1490 AM/101.9 FM)
• WGAN (560 AM)
• WMGX (93.1 FM)
• WYNZ (100.9FM)
• Channel 6 WCSH
• Channel 8 WMTW
• Channel 13 WGME
• The News and Events page of our website

Please note you can sign up with many of the television stations to have them email or text message you directly if Breakwater is closed. Breakwater is often listed with other independent schools, and is not always listed in alphabetical order. We will also make every effort to post cancellations under News & Events on our website, although this may not always be possible due to power outages. Please remember there is no AfterCare if school is closed.

Should there be a delayed opening; school will begin with recess at 10 am and the bell to begin class ringing at 10:15 am. As always, recess will be outside unless weather is too severe. Notice of a delayed start will be clearly announced on the above listed television and radio stations. If severe weather occurs while school is in session, Breakwater may issue a “School Closing” announcement using the same vehicles. In this case, please pick your child up as soon as possible. Breakwater will remain open until all children have been dismissed to a parent or caregiver. Dismissal procedures are the same. Your child may not leave with someone else without parental permission. Be sure to officially check your child out with his or her classroom teacher before leaving the campus.
