Important Update

Dear North Reading Public Schools Community, Parents, Families, and Caregivers,


Due to the upcoming potential snow and wind conditions from late Monday into Wednesday we are making the following adjustments to our schedule:


**Tomorrow/Tuesday, March 14, 2023, will now be a half-day for the entire district. (This replaces the previously scheduled half-day for elementary only on Wednesday.) The buses and the YMCA will follow a typical half-day plan for dismissal. This will be a half day irrespective of any snowfall accumulation. Grab and go lunches will be available for elementary students tomorrow.


**There will be no Pre-K on Tuesday or Wednesday this week.


**The decision on Tuesday afternoon/evening activities will be made by midday tomorrow.


**Wednesday is now a full day for K-12 (it was originally an elementary release day for conferences). There could be a 90 minute delay or cancellation on Wednesday and that information will be communicated either later on Tuesday or early Wednesday.


**Elementary conferences on Wednesday are now virtual and will take place even if there is a delay or cancellation of school. (If there are power/weather circumstances that do not allow for a teacher or family to participate the conference(s) can be rescheduled.)


**At this time the previous scheduled half day for elementary on Thursday and for K-12 on Friday are still planned as scheduled.


Thank you to everyone involved in thinking through this plan, especially our administrative and union leadership teams. There are many variables to consider and we believe this plan puts us in the best position to address the safety and weather conditions on each day and make the best choices for our students, staff, and families. 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. 


Dr. Daly
