This marks the first time since 2015 that a snowstorm caused back-to-back school cancellations.

“With around 60 inches of snow since Feb. 1, time and again, the maintenance crew has plowed, shoveled, and scraped every walkway, building, fire exit, and stairway,” The Gator reporting in a 2015 editorial.. “Many of us see these workers throughout the day, but few of us truly understand how much work they do—especially this winter.”

Once again, maintenance worked at the School for most of today and into the early evening, clearing as much snow as possible.

“The streets and sidewalks need another day of work to make them safe,” Head of School Judith Guild said in a community-wide email Monday night. “I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.”
