Doesn’t Like 5:30 a.m. School Closing Phone Call

To the Editor:

Today at around 5:30 a.m., my phone rang with an automated message that the schools were closed. 

I think the idea of this phone call is great, but I have to say that as a parent of three children ages 6, 4, and 2, it’s ridiculous that they would call anyone at 5:30 a.m.  I could always get this info on your site, News 12, the radio or any local TV station. 

I don’t need to have my entire family woken up at 5:30 for information I can get easily.

What were they thinking sending this at 5:30?
