Snow Route Information

Snow Routes are established for areas in Kinnelon where buses cannot safely travel in inclement weather. The Kinnelon Public Schools website will provide you with school closing information or you can call your child's school. A message will be incorporated in the greeting at these numbers.

Please listen carefully to the "ENTIRE" snow message on the answering machine at your child's school.

There will be either one of two messages:

• SMOKE RISE snow routes will be in effect

  Or

• Snow routes will be in effect for the ENTIRE DISTRICT

Below is a list of television/radio stations we will be using during any snow storm/emergency: FOX TV - Channel 5; NEWS 12 New Jersey (TV Station); Radio Station WOR-AM-710; Radio Station WCBS News Radio 88; WABC-TV-Channel 7.

Please also note the following information:

1. Follow the same procedure as listed above if:

a. A storm develops during the day or if the weather is questionable.
b. To find out if snow routes are in effect or cancelled for the afternoon dismissal.

2. In the event of a "DELAYED OPENING" snow routes will automatically be in effect. Students will board their bus at the "SNOW ROUTE DESIGNATION" 1 ½ hours later than their regular scheduled time.

3. Whenever a snow route is in effect for the afternoon dismissal, it is automatically in effect for the next morning.

4. When dropping off or picking up children at the "snow route area" please:

A) Leave the intersection clear
B) Do not obstruct the roadway
C) Leave enough room for the bus to turn around
D) Do not drive away until ALL the buses have left the area.
E) Carpool whenever possible
