Dear Westwood Regional Parents and Staff:
Due to the impending inclement weather, there will be a delayed opening tomorrow, Wednesday, January 10, 2024. As the storm arrives, significant rain, flooding and power outages are anticipated. Tomorrow’s delayed opening schedule will allow time for our families and staff to navigate the impact and travel related to this specific weather event.
All schools will open 90 minutes later than their normal start times (High School – 9:25 a.m.; Middle School – 9:45 a.m.; Grades K-5 – 10:20 a.m.; and Pre-School – 10:20 a.m.)
All before school clubs and Champions before care programs will be canceled. The after school care program and all after school activities will be held as usual.
Lunch will be served in all schools.
All students will be dismissed at their normal time.
All bus pick-ups will be 90 minutes after normal time.
Information is also available on the district's website under the Inclement Weather Procedures tab. Thank you!
Thank you,
Frank Connelly
