ER9 Schools and Offices - 3 Hour Delay

Posted Date: 01/26/26 (06:05 PM)


Dear Colleagues and Families, 

Our schools and offices will have a 3-hour delay tomorrow (Tuesday, January 27) due to many factors. First, snow showers this afternoon and this evening are predicted to refreeze overnight and additional time is needed tomorrow morning for clean up and treatment. Second, one of schools does not have water as of 6pm. We have been researching the issue this afternoon and contractors are scheduled to visit the school tomorrow morning at 6am. 

All students, staff, and families are urged to travel carefully tomorrow morning. Please be mindful of icy road conditions and reduced visibility due to snow piles at intersections and in parking lots. Some secondary roads are quite narrow and snow packed. 

I would like to thank our custodian and grounds staff, along with Town workers, for handling clean up today. Areas received up to 20+ inches of snow and their efforts are commendable. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. McKinnon
