PTO Meeting and Snow

Our PTO meeting is still Wednesday, January 12 at 8:30 am in the cafeteria. But! If Winthrop Schools are delayed or canceled, the meeting will be rescheduled. Please stay tuned to this site for updates.

As a reminder, the Winthrop Public School policy is as follows (click here for the full text):

When extreme weather or emergency conditions develop, the Superintendent can cancel school.

When schools are closed in the morning, they will remain closed all day. Every effort will be made to utilize the Connect Ed Parent/Guardian Notification System in conjunction with the notification to the T.V. and radio stations. The “NO SCHOOL” announcement will be made beginning at 6:30 A.M. over radio and T.V. as follows:
WBZ-TV, Channel 4 WCVB, Channel 5 WHDH, Channel 7
WRKO-AM, 680 WROR-FM, 105.7 WBUR-FM, 90.0
WMJX-FM, 106.7 WFXT (Fox 25)

PLEASE DO NOT CALL FIRE OR POLICE DEPARTMENTS OR THE HOME OF ANY SCHOOL PERSONNEL as this only delays making announcements and ties up the telephone.
Under normal conditions, once school is in session there will not be any early dismissals. This is to protect those children whose parents are not at home. However, parents should have some arrangement by which a child can be supervised if conditions become such that children and teachers must be dismissed. Any parent can, when conditions are bad, come to school and have their child dismissed.
