Dear Parent or Guardian:
Just a reminder as prescribed by the commissioner of education the Depew School District is conducting an annual exercise of its emergency early dismissal plan. The exercise will be conducted on Friday, October 3, 2025 at that time our students will be released 15 minutes earlier than their regularly scheduled dismissal time. This exercise is to test certain aspects of the School District Emergency management plan. All other activities will go on as scheduled. Please make any necessary arrangements for your child’s early dismissal on Friday, October 3rd.
This is also a time to make sure your entire family is prepared to make alternative arrangements should weather or other such emergencies dictate an early dismissal.
Thank you.

2. The registration link is individually linked to the email address that is on file. Each user has a unique link. You cannot forward the link to another individual with the expectation that they will be able to register. For example, Mom can not forward the link to Dad's email.
