"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.
