Will Yarmouth close tomorrow?
How Yarmouth calls a snow day
When the call comes
By 6:00 a.m.
“If school is to be delayed, held remotely, or closed, notifications are made by 6:00 a.m. as follows:”Source
How families hear
By the district app, the district website, social media, email, local TV and radio.
“Through our mobile app ... On the Yarmouth School Department website ... On our district Twitter feed: @YarmouthSchools ... Via email to all parent/guardian addresses in our PowerSchool database ... On various local television and radio stations”Snow days are coming!
A 2 hour delay
On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.
“Buses will run two hours later than normal and schools will each run an abbreviated schedule, with lunch being served and the school day ending at the regular time.”
Remote learning days
Yarmouth has remote learning days in its winter plan.
“For each closure, one day will be added to the end of the year until June 17. Any days beyond that will likely become remote learning days, although that is a decision that will be made at the time of the closure.”Source
Making up a lost day
Each closure adds one day to the end of the year, through June 17, 2027.
“If there are no school closures, the year would end on Friday, June 11. For each closure, one day will be added to the end of the year until June 17.”Source

How Maine counts a lost day
Maine requires a 180 day school year with at least 175 days of instruction. The Commissioner may waive the minimum days on a school board's written application, but only after the district has tried every reasonable way to make the days up.
