"Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"

Winter weather in Connecticut is unpredictable and Region 15 is going to help you this winter by informing you of any school delays and cancellations. On the left column, you will find a section on Delays/Cancellations which lists the media you can turn to for notification. Also, new this year, the www.region15.org home page will immediately post any delays/cancellations in the scrolling marquee in the center of the page. Add www.region15.org to your "favorites" so you can quickly access any weather related closings.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS is the monthly emailed publication to inform parents, students, educators, and residents in the Region 15 School District of the latest happenings related to our school system. 

We want to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us at comments.region15@region15.org.
