Never got alerts from school about closing yesterday!
We got a phone call on our home land-line Sunday night, but we never got any emails, or text messages about the closing.... 
I've gotten 4+ text messages to alert me that school ISN'T closing during mild snow, but nothing about an actual closing!

Re: Never got alerts from school about closing yesterday!
I got the same phone call Sunday night as well. However, you're right when there is a 2 hour delay or if after school activites are cancelled we'll get 80 reminders btwn phone calls, e-mails and texts.
Hey, how's the house coming along?

I heard and did you hear mayor bloombergs message regarding if parents didnt think schools would be closed- that if we had to question it- maybe we need to go back to school-
something to that affect he was saying, I was driving listening to it.

Yes. There's a website that we can register with. You can have it send messages to email and/or text messages. I have it set up to email my house and work, and to text my cell phone.
Normally, it's a great system.... WHEN THEY SEND THE MESSAGES!!!!

Honestly, I am surprised that the schools even call with automated messages informing parents of school closings, etc. I remember growing up, we had to listen to the radio for our school's name to be announced that it was closed or delayed.

House is done for a little while. We've been fully moved into the new half of the house for a few months now. Solar panels are up and running. This year is outside improvements. Grass, put the fence back up, build new walkways for the new entrances, replace part of the driveway that was dug up for the cesspools, etc, etc....
