Hi Wakefield School District (Paul School) Families,

As we get closer to winter, I want to take a moment to talk about how we make decisions around school delays, early releases, or closures due to weather. I know these calls have a big impact on your day, and I truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate.
Every storm is different, and there’s no perfect formula for deciding whether to delay, close, or release early. I rely on information from local road crews, weather forecasts, law enforcement, and our transportation partners. Above all, safety is always my top priority.

That said, I want to hear from you! Would you rather we make the call the night before, or wait until early morning?
I put together a quick survey for your feedback, your input will really help us refine the process.
I want to acknowledge that the weather in Wakefield can vary greatly depending on where you live, sometimes one side of town is clear while the other is covered in snow! I know we’re all part of the same community, but the weather likes to go where it chooses.

And finally, I want to apologize in advance, I know I won’t always get it 100% right when it comes to weather decisions. Please know that I always make these calls with safety in mind, and I err on the side of caution.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate New England’s unpredictable winters together!
