All Catholic Elementary Schools in the Archdiocese of New York, will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, December 17^th, due to the expected heavy snow storm (click here to view the full press release).

The National Weather Service expects accumulations exceeding 18 inches in some areas, as well as winds gusting as high as 40 MPH which will cause hazardous driving conditions and the potential for power outages throughout the Metropolitan Area.

Archdiocese High Schools operate independently, so high school families need to follow instructions from their individual schools. 

“The health and safety of our teachers, staff and students are always the first thought that crosses our minds.  To that end, the Archdiocese will have a ‘traditional snow day’ tomorrow with no online instruction and all schools buildings closed,” said Michael J. Deegan, Superintendent of Schools, Archdiocese of New York.

“And please continue to take all COVID precautions, since COVID does not take a snow day or a holiday,” said Mr. Deegan.
