High School and Middle School Remain Open as Refuge

The following message is from Amity Regional High School Principal Charles Britton to the Amity community:

I hope this email finds everyone safe and beginning the clean-up process. 

At this time, power has been restored to Amity Regional High School and the Middle School in Bethany. The Middle School in Orange it still without power. Amity Regional High School and the Middle School in Bethany are open to all residents of the BOW communities from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. Residents are welcome to use the facilities to charge cell phones, take showers, or as a general refuge.

All Region 5 schools will remain closed on Friday, Nov. 2. All school activities and athletic contests, including SCC tournament games are canceled from Friday, Nov. 2 – Sunday, Nov. 4. Rescheduled dates for SCC tournament games will be communicated once dates are determined by the SCC.

The SAT planned for Saturday, Nov. 3, is canceled. A make-up date for the SAT will be communicated once the date is determined by the College Board.

A decision about the return to school on Monday will be made by the superintendent after consultation with town officials and emergency response personnel over the weekend. If school is canceled on Monday, notification will be broadcasted through media outlets. If we return to school on Monday, it will be a C Day.

Information about the end of the first quarter, posting of first quarter grades, and other information related to rescheduled events will be included in tomorrow’s Friday Highlights.

Sincerely,

Charles Britton, Ed.D

Principal, Amity Regional High School
