School Safety

Emergency Closings

Whenever GCIT must close school or dismiss classes early for emergency situations (weather, physical plant, etc.), every attempt will be made to inform students and their families. If schools are closed, the District will post this information on local TV and radio stations, including Channel 13—the Gloucester County local access cable station. The school closing code for KYW is 833.

Additionally, emergency closing information will be made available through our Roam Secure Program, and will be

posted on the District Web site whenever possible.
