[Needham Public Schools Superintendent's Update]

Sunday, February 10, 2013

Dear Needham Families:

There will be a two hour delayed opening in the Needham Public Schools
tomorrow, Monday, February 11th.  There will be no morning
Kindergarten.  Let me take this opportunity to urge parents and students
to exercise caution, cooperation, and common sense on your way to school
tomorrow and throughout the week.

Please drive students to school as necessary, leave ample time to navigate
congested streets, and carpool with a friend or neighbor.  The Town is
working overtime to clear streets, lots, and sidewalks of the snowfall. 
But it will take the better part of a week to clear every pathway and
reduce mounds of snow obstructing some intersections.  School parking
lots have been cleared, but parking spaces have been reduced; this is
especially true at the high school where student drivers are urged to
carpool or be dropped off this week.

Other important information:

• Schools will be dismissed at their regular times.
• Noon meal will be served at the regular times in all school cafeterias.
• Kindergarten a.m. session and Preschool a.m. sessions: canceled
• KASE a.m. session: Mitchell, Hillside, and Broadmeadow canceled; Eliot
and Newman – 2-hour delay
• All KASE p.m. sessions will be held at their regularly scheduled times.
• Needham Extended Day Program (NEDP) before-school program will be
closed; all after-school programs will be open.

Many thanks for your patience, understanding, and assistance.

Sincerely,


Dan Gutekanst
Superintendent of the Needham Public Schools
