As prescribed by the commissioner of education Depew School District is conducting an annual exercise of its emergency early dismissal plan. The exercise will be conducted on Fri October 4. At that time our students will be released 15 minutes earlier than their regularly scheduled dismissal time. This exercise is to test certain aspect 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 Fri Oct 4, 2024. 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.
