Snow, Snow, and More Snow!

Pine Glen in Snow

It seems that the weather is the topic on everyone's mind these days.  Snow days, delayed openings, and early releases have made for an exciting but confusing January.

Concerns about the missed sessions of our skating program and what will happen about the end of the school year have come up repeatedly.

The Scholars' Garden

A notice is going home today regarding the skating program.  The two sessions missed will be made up next Thursday and Friday, February 10th and 11th.  Please send back the permission form at the bottom of the notice so that your child may attend these sessions.

The Play Structure

We are in no immediate danger of attending school in July.  Nor are there any plans currently for reducing the February or April vacations.  Superintendent Eric Conti has discussed this on his blog here.

Path between the back doors

The Patch recently posted an article, The Making of a Snow Day, which describes how the Superintendent comes to a decision regarding school closings.  Please understand that individual schools do not make decisions regarding school schedules and/or closings.

I hope this addresses some of the concerns parents and students have had this week.
