Superintendent: Full Remote Learning Friday for All Students & Staff
From Westport Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Scarice:
“Good evening Westport Families and Staff,
Our custodial staff and the town’s Department of Public Works have done a wonderful job today clearing our parking lots and sidewalks around the schools. Despite their efforts to treat our parking lots and sidewalks, ice remains. In addition, we have been informed that refreezing of town roads, particularly secondary roads, and parking lot surfaces may cause hazardous conditions in the morning.
As a result, the Westport Public Schools will operate in a full remote model for teachers and students on Friday, December 18, 2020.
Sincerely,
Thomas Scarice
Superintendent of Schools”

The Gault Barn: 109 Years of Snow Storms
The 1911-built red barn on Compo Road South is owned and maintained by the Gault Family Companies - who have used the land for over 150 years in their long history of local companies serving Westporters. After more than 100 years worth of Winters, the barn has seen its share of snow storms and was a picture—perfect moment in Westport today.
