Decision Made On Classes At Norwalk Public Schools For Feb. 24

NORWALK, CT — Norwalk Public Schools will be closed Tuesday to allow for continued snow cleanup and removal from school walkways, parking lots and residential sidewalks, the district announced Monday evening.

According to the district's Facebook page, taking this additional precaution will help ensure that students can travel safely to school, whether they walk or travel to their neighborhood bus stop.

All after-school activities and programs scheduled for Feb. 24 are canceled.

"We appreciate your continued understanding and cooperation," district officials wrote on Facebook. "We look forward to welcoming students back to school as soon as conditions allow. Please stay safe, and we kindly ask for your support in helping clear sidewalks in your neighborhoods to assist our students."

A major winter storm battered the region for most of Sunday and into Monday afternoon, with heavy snow and strong wind gusts.
