Dear Needham Families:

The Needham Public Schools will open on time and as scheduled tomorrow, Thursday, January 29th.  A reminder that we have an early release day schedule and no PM Kindergarten tomorrow.

Allow me to share some information and a few safety tips for tomorrow's commute to school:

•  The Town's Departments of Public Works and Facilities have done a great job cleaning up the roads, sidewalks, and schools in preparation for the school opening.  The staff has been working all day and will continue to work overnight to plow and shovel snow.  

•  Not all of the sidewalks have been cleared, and high snow piles exist on many street corners, especially near school crossings.  Students need to exercise extreme caution walking to school and crossing the street.

•  Parents and students should leave earlier than usual and take time driving or walking to school.  Buses may be late in some cases, so please be patient and bundle up.

Thanks for your patience, good spirit, and cooperation as we, together, endure another New England winter!
