EMERGENCY CLOSINGS and DELAYED OPENINGS -- When weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances warrant either the closing or delayed opening of school, students should listen to radio station WBEN which is the only official source of information regarding school closings and delayed openings. We ask your cooperation in regard to these procedures to avoid needless calls coming into the Friary or School when there is doubt about school being held. St. Francis will follow the more conservative decision of either Frontier or West Seneca School Districts. If either Frontier or West Seneca schools close, St. Francis will be closed and there will be no special announcement. Also, check the web site www.stfrancishigh.org. When St. Francis is closed due to inclement weather conditions, all athletic events for that day are cancelled.
