School Closings

Portsmouth School Department understands the decision to open or close schools in bad weather has a big effect on families. We also understand that our students are better served both academically and socially by being in school. As always, our top priority is the safety of our students.

In the event of emergencies and weather-related school delays and closings, Portsmouth School Department notifies parents via phone or email through ParentSquare. It is important for families to supply their current contact information to ensure the database used for emergency calls and emails is accurate. To make any changes to your information, please contact the school secretary of the school your child attends.

Notifications will also be posted on the following:
