NYC Public Schools: No More Snow Days, “Plan on Participating in Remote Learning”
The New York City Department of Education announced yesterday that snow days will be a thing of history for the next generation of new yorkers.
With the release of their 2021/2022 academic calendar, families and educators noticed the bullet point that confirmed a fear for many in the education community. The NYC DoE stated: “On ‘Snow days’ or days when school buildings are closed due to an emergency, all students and families should plan on participating in remote learning.”
Days filled with hot cocoa, playing in the snow, and no worries remained this year for Westport students, as Westport Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Scarice described himself in a December 14th, 2020 email as a “purist”, saying “ I do believe that for most children, the experience of a snow day can be an unforgettable part of childhood and a unique opportunity for unstructured play.”
