Cancellations & Delays

Cancellations & Delays

JUNE 17, 2025 is the projected LAST DAY OF SCHOOL assuming no snow cancellations.

Dear Families,

Planning ahead and being prepared for weather related delays and cancellations before winter weather comes upon us will make the winter run smoother.  Please read and review the procedures outlined below. 

The decision to delay or to close schools involves a range of important factors. The Superintendent will consult with the Department of Public Works, the Police Department, and surrounding area Superintendents.  They assess the condition of area local roads and the regional roads that our faculty and staff are traveling in order to reach Westborough.   

They will try to communicate the decision around 5:45 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. so that people can plan for work and childcare accordingly. A phone message will be sent to the phone number stored in PowerSchool for cancellations or delays and an e-mail will be sent to both parents' email addresses through Parent Square.

Cancellation and delay information will also be broadcast on:

  • WBZ TV Channel 4
  • WCVB TV Channel 5
  • WHDH TV Channel 7
  • WFXT TV Channel 25
  • Westborough Cable TV

The Westborough Public Schools District website will display the information (www.westboroughk12.org).
