School Closing Information
Please do not call the school to find out about weather closings or delays, but use the following sources of information instead. Thanks for your cooperation.
The School Closing Information page located on the Christina School District website offers tips and suggestions for ways to stay informed of any changes in the normal school schedule. You may also sign up to receive e-mail notifications, access the State of Delaware School Closing Information website, and access a list of local media outlets that will include school closing information about the Christina School District.
ParentLink Announcements of School Closings
The District's parent notification system, ParentLink, will be used to notify parents of school closings. When these calls are made, the number that will appear as the Caller ID is a District number. Those who call that number will be able to hear the same message again.
Delmarva Broadcasting Offers Text Messaging Service for School Closings
Delmarva Broadcasting, the operator of local radio stations WDEL and WSTW, offers a text-messaging service to those who wish school closing information to be sent to their cell phone in the form of a text message. Interested subscribers should visit the following link to register: http://wstwstore.hipcricket.com/.
