I've been fascinated to learn how the brain's executive function challenges many kids in school and at home.

School Closings: How to know if it's a snow day in New York City

School Closings: How to know if it's a snow day in New York City

They are predicting 6-10 inches for Monday and as we are getting ready for bed were wondering if schools will be closed in the morning. New York City public schools haven't had a snow day in 10 five years (2004) so it's not really an issue that comes up all the time for us, but private schools and nursery schools do close and it's nice to know how to find out if there will be school closings.  

Here are the best resources I found for finding out if New York City schools are closing:

1010WINS.com has a desktop app that will pop up a box when your school closes. Seems like by the time that ever came up, my kids would have changed schools and I would have forgotten to update the app. Almost as easy just to go to their site.

Radio Station WCBS AM 880 and FM 101.1 has a service that will alert you by email or text message if your school is closing. It took me a little bit to figure out how to sign up and I may not ever find out if it works since NYC Public Schools never close, but you can sign up for their alerts here.

Of course if it is a snow day, you'll want to go sledding. I'll be posting some good places to go sledding in a bit.

UPDATE: NYC Public Schools are closed today, March 2, 2009. Check out our latest post on the best places to go sledding in NYC.
