Inclement Weather Days

If the Superintendent cancels school for inclement weather, it will be announced as a "Snow Day" or an Inclement Weather/Remote Learning Day. 

• Snow Days are days off that will be made up at the end of the school year. 

• Inclement Weather/Remote Learning Days are days students will complete their daily "Blizzard Bag" work to return to school.

Please read the following information if you have questions about the cancellation plan for BES students. 

Inclement Weather Plan from the SAU website:

At the elementary level, Inclement Weather/Remote Learning Days will be paper-and-pencil tasks. These learning tasks will be sent home in a physical bag/envelope ahead of any snow days.  (These will be provided to families at conferences)

There will be three (3) days worth of lessons. Please only complete one day for each Inclement Weather/Remote Learning Day. Inclement Weather/Remote Learning Day lessons are expected to be returned within two (2) days of returning to school. 

Attendance: An inclement weather day is a school day. Students should return completed work upon returning to school. Students must complete assignments or make a significant attempt. Students who do not complete the assignment or demonstrate that they made a significant attempt will be marked with an unexcused absence.

Students will be able to complete work at a time that works best for them and their household dynamics. Teachers will be available following a delayed opening schedule by email and possibly Google Meet. BES 10:00 am ‐ 2:30 pm

Para educators will continue to support their students and teachers by the use of emails and any other responsibilities put forth by the teachers or administration.

Special Education and other Direct Services: At the elementary level we are not using computers for Inclement Weather/Remote Learning Days, so all special education services such as speech, OT, PT, and 1:1 academic support will be made up when we return to school. 

Our counselors, nurses, and other program specialists will be available for support throughout the day by phone and/or email.
