The William Floyd School District has announced a two-hour delayed opening for Wednesday, February 25, due to weather conditions. The delay also applies to the Floyd Academy.
“Please be safe!” stated the district in its announcement.
Students who take buses are instructed to arrive at their stops two hours later than usual. Those who use other forms of transportation should also plan to arrive two hours later than normal. Upon arrival, high school and middle school students will report directly to their first period class, with all periods slightly shortened so that every class can be attended. Breakfast and lunch services will continue as scheduled, and dismissal times will remain unchanged.
After-school activities are expected to proceed as planned, but families are advised to check with coaches or advisors for specific program details. All before-school activities and clubs are canceled for the day.
For Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) programs, parents should consult directly with their child’s teacher or provider since these operate on separate schedules. The William Floyd High School Equivalency Program (GED) is canceled for the day. Occupational Education programs at Milliken Technical Center and Bixhorn Technical Center are also canceled; students attending these should look for bus pick-up starting at 10:15 am for an 11:15 am arrival at the high school. Floyd Academy Interim Placement will run as usual.
“If anything changes (such as a delayed opening becoming a closing), the community will be notified in a timely manner,” said the district.
The William Floyd School District operates ten schools—including a high school, an academy, and several middle and elementary schools—and serves more than 9,400 students from kindergarten through twelfth grade according to its official website. The district is recognized for alumni contributions in scholarships, educational leadership, and community service [source]. It has received accolades for its music program among top communities for music education and recognition from the Business Teachers Association of New York State [source]. Collaboration among students, parents, educators, staff, and community members supports student development across intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, and physical areas in a supportive setting [source].
