Snow Closure: Westport Public Schools Full Snow Day Thursday
According to Superintendent Thomas Scarice:
“With the strong likelihood of a major winter storm tomorrow, I would like to inform the school community that the Westport Public Schools will be closed Thursday, December 17, 2020. This will be a traditional snow day which will be made up at the end of the school year. The schools will reopen Friday as scheduled. If the clean up efforts require a second day, Friday will be a remote learning day. https://sites.google.com/westportps.org/wps2020-2021reopeningourschool/full-remote-model
The anticipation and excitement of a snow day is something that every child should experience. Soak it up. As a fellow parent I feel the fleeting nature of time with my own children. The challenge of this year warrants a respite. Let this be Thursday. The forecast calls for about a foot of fluffy snow to end by mid-morning. Bundle them up and let them all (elementary through high school) get out and enjoy one of the few days a year that we get for winter fun in southern New England.
Stay safe and warm,
Thomas Scarice”
