As Northeast winter weather is in full effect, please take a moment to make sure your contact information is up to date with our main offices. Our alerts are sent to the phone numbers and email addresses we have on file, so updated information helps us keep you informed.
If school is delayed, closed, or dismissed early, we will update you through the following avenues:
- email, phone call, and text message
- district social media accounts (Facebook & Instagram)
- a pop up as soon as you visit our district website (www.taconichills.k12.ny.us)
- local TV news stations school closing banners & websites
Please remember that home phone numbers cannot receive text messages, and full voicemail boxes cannot accept automated messages if the call is missed.
If you do not receive a notifcation but want to check that we are open, you can always visit our website, social media, or local news TV stations. If you're not receiving notifications, please contact webmaster@taconichills.k12.ny.us
Thank you for working with us to ensure you recieve all district notifications, especially throughout the winter months.

Families of impacted students will receive a separate email notification with specific information about the vaccinations that are due. State regulations require that we notify families and obtain updated records within 14 days of the first day of school. After this period, any student without current immunization documentation must be excluded from school until records are updated.
To ensure timely communication, especially given recent mail delays, we will also be calling families and sending letters home with students.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter and for helping us keep our school community safe and healthy.
