When school must be closed due to inclement weather or other emergencies, announcements are made through a variety of media: 

• BlackBoard Connect Mass Messaging System - CCSD Familes and Staff Only -  
  Please make sure your emergency contact information is up to date.  To review or update your information:
  • CCSD Families - Contact your child's school
    CCSD Staff - Contact Personnel at 845-639-6430
  • BlackBoard Connect - Notification Removal Form
  • Replay phone messages
  • Text Messages - Add CCSD To Your Contacts - Text Messages will come from either “60680” for non-emergency messages or “54968” for emergency messages. Some people create contacts on their device with these numbers so that when a message comes, it says that it is from CCSD or whatever name you put for that contact. Example below.
