Superintendent Updates

Dear Brentwood Families and Staff,
  
As you are aware, the district was closed today due to the significant snowfall we received on Sunday. While the snowfall has ended, many inner and neighborhood roads across our community have not yet been fully cleared.

Our Buildings and Grounds and custodial teams have been actively working to prepare our school buildings for reopening. However, given current conditions and the number of students who walk to school, we believe additional time is needed to support safe travel throughout the community.

For these reasons, the District will operate on a two-hour delayed opening tomorrow. This decision provides additional time for conditions to continue improving and helps ensure a safe return for students and staff.

Students who receive transportation should arrive at their bus stops two hours later than their regular scheduled time.

The two-hour delayed opening schedule is included below for your reference.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued partnership.

Sincerely,

Wanda Ortiz-Rivera
Superintendent of Schools
