Greenwich Public Schools Closed Thursday

GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich Public Schools are closed on Thursday, March 8, as the town continues to dig out from Wednesday’s snow storm. Officials considered a two-hour delayed opening but changed that decision due to the conditions.

The district released the following statement Wednesday evening concerning Thursday's schedule:

At a minimum, all Greenwich Public Schools will follow a TWO-HOUR DELAYED OPENING schedule tomorrow, Thursday, March 8.

"We will review the status of the roads in the early morning hours," wrote district officials in a statement. "Based on the timing of the end of the storm, the amount of snow that has accumulated, the time required for the road crews to clear the roads, and addressing any other damages resulting from the storm, we may decide to close schools.

"We will send out an announcement by 6:30am (on the website) to confirm the status of schools opening tomorrow. The Parentlink call to parents will go out at approximately 8:00am. Please check multiple communication channels (GPS website, email, local media outlets, etc.) for the announcement on the opening status of schools for tomorrow."

The private Greenwich schools Whitby, Brunswick and Greenwich Academy also will open on a two-hour delay on Thursday.
