Winter weather

From David Fleishman, NPS Superintendent

Dear NPS Families,

With winter weather in the forecast this weekend, I can no longer delay sending you our winter weather reminder.

The time at which the decision is made to close or delay school is dependent upon the weather forecast and our discussions with City officials. You will be notified as soon as the decision is made so that your family can plan accordingly. Notifications will be posted on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), district website, and TV/radio.

Safety is our number one priority as we consider the weather forecast, as well as street, sidewalk, and school parking lot conditions. We are very sensitive to the childcare challenges that you face when schools are closed and only do so if our analysis indicates we should. More detailed information on the evaluation process for determining school closings and delays can be found at: http://www.newton.k12.ma.us/weather.

Enjoy the winter weather and hopefully you won’t be hearing my voice too often in the coming months.

Sincerely,
David Fleishman
Superintendent
