How do we notify parents in case of school closings or an emergency?

Closings and delays

When bad weather (or other event) forces us to delay or close school, we notify our Thunder families via:

  • Thrillshare—our voice/email/text system. The system automatically contacts the first two contacts you listed on your emergency contact sheet. If you are not receiving messages, please contact your school.

  • District website—the message will appear on the district’s and each school’s home pages.

  • Facebook—be sure to “like” Central Valley School District

  • Twitter—be sure to “follow” @CValleyCSD

  • Area media—The following radio and television stations list our status:

    • WKTV

    • YNN

    • WUTR / WFXV / WPNY

    • WBUG-101.FM/WBGK-99.7 FM
