PROGRAM AND SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS

  • If schools are closed due to inclement weather, all day and evening recreation programs are cancelled, with the exception of Friday night skiing, which might still run if school is cancelled.  Please call the Recreation Department’s Program Information and Cancellation Line at (781) 862-0500 ext. 706 to check if Friday night skiing is on.  In the event of a weather cancellation, a message will be left on the Program Information and Cancellation Line one hour before the class is scheduled to start.  Due to the constantly changing New England weather, this will be the best way to stay informed if a class is being held.  Please call the line when you have any doubts about the weather. 

    IF YOU WAIT ~ YOU MAY BE LATE

    Nothing jeopardizes a recreation program faster than individuals who wait until the last minute to register.  There is a point when a program must be canceled or modified if there is insufficient registration.  All programs require a high level of coordination, often including facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment, and purchasing of supplies.

    PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!
