Manchester School District: Delay Schedule

If WZID reports a “2-Hour Delay” for Manchester Public Schools, use the following guide for the adjusted start times:

School Level Normal Arrival 2-Hour Delay Start
High School 7:38 a.m. 9:38 a.m.
Middle School 7:25 a.m. 9:25 a.m.
Elementary School 8:20 a.m. 10:20 a.m.
Full-Day Preschool 8:45 a.m. 10:45 a.m.

Note: On 2-hour delay days, Morning Preschool is typically canceled, while Afternoon Preschool remains on its normal 12:35 p.m. schedule.


How the Decision is Made

The Superintendent of Manchester Schools typically makes the call between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., though major storm closures may be announced the night before. The decision-making process involves a coordinated effort between:

  • Manchester Transit Association: To determine if buses can safely navigate hills and side streets.

  • Highway & Facilities Dept: To ensure school parking lots and sidewalks are cleared.

  • Meteorologists: Coordination with local weather teams, including WMUR and WZID weather partners.
