Burlington students will enjoy a traditional snow day on Thursday, Dec. 17, Superintendent Eric Conti has announced. There will be no in-person or remote instruction.
A winter storm is expected to bring heavy snow, strong winds, coastal flooding and hazardous marine conditions late Wednesday night into Thursday, according to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. Expected snow fall totals projected are 8-12 inches in some areas.
School districts in Massachusetts have the option of using remote learning rather than suspend all classes during snow days this year. Conti said while remote learning may be the norm for future storms, We have had to change so many of our routines/rituals that I wanted students to have the experience of a snow day for our first storm.
