Here’s what the Newark Public School District says to do for snow days, cancellations and delayed openings for the 2015-16 school year:

“The best way to be notified when school will be closed is to download and install the official Newark Public Schools mobile app for Apple iOS or Android. When the decision to close schools, have a delayed opening or early closing is finalized, we will send a Push Notification message to your smartphone.”

In addition, parents and students can visit the Newark Public Schools website here for cancellation or delayed opening updates.
