"I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret"
-RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Emerson adheres to CONCORD SCHOOL DISTRICT'S decisions for cancellations due to poor weather conditions.
* Emerson does not hold class when Concord public schools are closed.
* When Concord delays the start of their day Emerson's TTH classes are canceled for the day but the MWF class meets 10:30-12:30.
* When Concord dismisses school early Emerson's MWF class will end at 11:30.
Concord's School District Closings are announced on WMUR- Channel 9 and many local radio stations. Parents will be informed in writing of any Emerson School closings that are out of the ordinary.
There is no reimbursement for Snow or other emergency cancellations and days WILL NOT be made up at the end of the school year.
*TBA - Both in Fall and Spring, school will be closed for one day for a Staff Development.
