Schools Back in Session After Three Snow Days

Following three consecutive snow days, most schools in East Hampton plan to reopen tomorrow morning, albeit with a two-hour delay.

However, students at East Hampton High School who are taking Regents exams are expected to report promptly at 8 a.m. High school students not taking exams have been asked to stay home.

Exams will be offered in 10 subject areas: integrated algebra, geometry, algebra 2/trigonometry, bilingual integrated algebra, earth science, chemistry, global history, bilingual global history, U.S. history, and bilingual U.S. history.

As of Thursday afternoon, John M. Marshall Elementary School, East Hampton Middle School, Springs School, Amagansett School, and Wainscott School will all operate on a two-hour delayed opening.

“It gives everyone a little extra time to get out the door and get the kids to school,” said Elizabeth Mendelman, president of the Springs School Board. “It’s still hard for kids to be standing out at bus stops.” More than usual traffic is predicted, not to mention a weather forecast of rain and more snow.

The Southampton Public Schools will operate on a regular schedule. Bus transportation has been encouraged. Due to a lack of available parking Southampton High School students will not be allowed to drive to school.

Sag Harbor Schools will have a one-hour delayed opening. The Ross School in East Hampton and Bridgehampton will have a two-hour delay.
