Oh Joy!

Boston Public Schools has announced that Tuesday, February 12 will also be another snow day. All public schools and after school programs will not be open for a 3rd day.

All Boston Centers for Youth and Families community centers will be open tomorrow and will provide a place for students six and older if parents need to go to work.

The BPS website’s announcement is below:

No school Tuesday; all BCYF centers open for children to spend the day

All Boston Public Schools will be closed Tuesday, February 12. All extracurricular and athletic events are canceled.

• The Campbell Resource Center, Family Resource Centers and the Newcomers Assessment Center, as well as all BPS administrative offices including 26 Court Street and BLA will be openTuesday. All staff who support these locations should report to work.

For families who need help with child care, all Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) community centers will be open on Tuesday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. These centers will offer a warm and safe place for young people age six and older while their parents work. All youth are welcome but youth under 12 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at drop-off for the completion of a short intake form. You can find a list of locations here or by calling the Mayor’s 24-Hour Hotline at (617) 635-4500.

Thanks to Ashlee Wiest-Laird for the heads up. My optimism that parental sanity would likely return on Tuesday was clearly not quite on the mark… For speculating on such a measure of false hope, I apologize. – Ed.
