BOURBON - Triton School Corp. announced Friday that, effective immediately, it will make use of the We Are Closed Today online media notification system to notify area radio and television stations of weather-related school announcements.
The We Are Closed Today system was designed by the Northern Indiana Education Services Center on behalf of public schools in northern Indiana. The online application is designed to help schools and other organizations notify media outlets in the event of a delay, closure or early dismissal.Local radio stations broadcasting Triton's weather-related school announcements include Warsaw's WRSW-FM 107.3, Plymouth's WTCA-AM 1050 and WZOC-FM 94.3 and South Bend's Sunny 101.5.
Local television stations broadcasting the announcements include South Bend's WNDU-TV Channel 16 and WSBT-TV Channel 22.
Triton's announcements will no longer be carried on WSJV-TV Fox 28 as the station has chosen not to participate in the We Are Closed Today system.
Community members may register with We Are Closed Today and receive e-mail and/or text message notification when any of their selected schools delay, close or dismiss early due to weather conditions. In addition to specific notifications, anyone may go to www.weareclosedtoday.com, enter their zip code, choose a radius and see all the delays or closings within that area.
