I hope this finds you and your family safe as I know many are still without power. Currently, power has not yet been restored to Miscoe Hill Middle School. We will send an update by 6:15am tomorrow morning to let you know regarding the status of school.

Due to additional school power outages and trees blocking roads, we will need to close Memorial, Clough, and Miscoe Hill Middle School today. Buses will be returning students home that were just picked up for Memorial and Clough. The situation as rapidly changed in the last 30 minutes.
We will be in touch regarding Nipmuc's situation.

Due to the high wind conditions, downed trees are blocking Mendon Street and the power is out at Miscoe Hill Middle School. National Grid has been contacted and we are waiting on a restoration time. Therefore, we will have a two hour delay for Miscoe Hill Middle School only. All other schools have a normal schedule.
Please note: Bus routes have been impacted for all schools due to downed trees in multiple areas of both towns.
