Community Division Closings

In addition, due to weather conditions or other emergencies, the Community Division may chose to cancel its activities for the day.

  • main campus office at (860) 768-4451
  • Simsbury location at (860) 651-3570

Simsbury Location Cancellation Policy

If Simsbury Public Schools are cancelled, morning classes at Simsmore Square are also cancelled.  If Simsbury Public Schools have a delayed opening, classes will run at their regularly scheduled time.  Afternoon and evening classes will be cancelled if the Community Division is closed.

Rescheduling of Activities

When the Community Division is officially closed, private music teachers will make up lessons; families should reserve their regularly scheduled time during the make-up week unless otherwise arranged. Ensembles, classes, and other group activities are not made up, although faculty members may reschedule rehearsals at their discretion. Check with your class teacher or the receptionist at your location for more information.
