"No School" Announcements

Words School Closed with snow on the ground and a snowperson on the snow

 

  • When school sessions are canceled or delayed, you will receive an automated phone call early in the morning and an email from the Newton Public Schools. You may also go to the NPS website or call 617-559-9699 for a recorded message.

  •  If a "delayed opening" is announced, normal school procedures apply, allowing for the one- or two-hour delay. Although schools may be open on days following snow or ice storms, families should use their own judgment in determining whether road conditions in their area permit children to proceed safely to school. The judgment of the parent/guardian is accepted as a legitimate reason for student absence in such cases.
