Scarsdale Schools Announce Decision About Monday Afternoon Schedule

Updated at 11:02 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, 2015: Scarsdale school officials late Monday morning announced an early dismissal for students. Below is Assistant Superintendent Linda Purvis’ statement:

Good morning,

This is Linda Purvis, Assistant Superintendent for the Scarsdale Public Schools.

Because of the continuing bad weather and poor driving conditions, we have made the difficult decision to dismiss students early today. The Middle School will dismiss at 11:20 a.m. and the elementary schools and the High School will dismiss students at noon.

Students who are eligible for District transportation will be picked up at dismissal time and brought to their normal stops. Kindergarten students must be met at the stop by an authorized adult. If your child is not eligible for District transportation, he or she should be picked up at school at the early dismissal time.

We had hoped to be able to have a normal school day today, but clearly the weather had other plans. Please drive safely and we will see everyone tomorrow.

Thank you.
Linda Purvis
