Island Park Public Schools

Special Education Schools, Private and Parochial High Schools

Religious Holidays: If the district's school year is underway, but it is closed for Jewish holidays, the
district transports students to their respective schools as usual.

Inclement Weather Only:
Island Park Schools Closed: If the Island Park School District is closed, no bus transportation is provided
by the district to any other schools. Parents and Guardians are responsible for taking their child to
school. Generally, if you cannot take your child to school, the school designates the day a legal
absence. However, this can vary from school to school.

Island Park Schools Delayed Opening for Inclement Weather (Snow/Ice not flooding*): If the Island
Park School District has a delayed opening, you must add the number of hours in the delay to the usual
pick-up time. In other words, if your child takes an 8:15 AM bus; it will arrive at 10:15 AM in the event of
a 2-hr delayed opening or 11:15 AM in the event of a 3-Hr delayed opening. Note: the delayed pick-up is
based on the number of hours announced by Island Park Schools and not that of any other school or
district. Also, dismissal time remains the same as always.

*Island Park Schools Delayed Opening for Flooding in Island Park: If the Island Park School District has a
delayed opening for localized flooding, special education schools, private, and parochial high schools will
have the usual pick-up time, unless the students’ school also has a delayed opening and/or the localized
flooding prevents the school district from safely transporting students to school. Families of these
students will be notified by an automated call and/or an email blast and informed of the delayed pick-up
time.
