Weather Closures

In Maine we expect snow storms and other types of inclement weather events.   In cases of inclement weather, the Scarborough Public Schools will use up to two traditional snow days. All of our schools will be closed on these days and students will not be expected to go to school in person or learn remotely. No school meals will be provided on snow days. These two school days will be made up in June if they are used. 

Remote Learning - Snow Days

If there are more than two days of inclement weather, we will have remote learning days in lieu of a traditional snow day. On remote learning days, students will stay home and will be expected to complete academic assignments. Remote learning days will not need to be made up at the end of the year. 

Food Service Plans for Remote Learning Days - 

Meals will be provided during remote learning snow days.  Non-perishable meals will be sent home in advance with all students who a meal has been requested for.  Please fill out this form to have your child's name added to the list of kids receiving a meal.  If you have multiple children, please fill out the form for each child individually.  After each remote learning snow day, we will send home another non-perishable meal for possible future remote learning days.  You do not need to resubmit on the form again for each remote learning snow day. Once you are on the list you are on it for the winter, if you would like to be removed from the list, please contact your school.

General Remote Learning Expectations -

• Elementary (grades K-5) – Students will be provided with hard copy materials to be completed at home and returned to school.
