Do you follow the Farmington Public Schools calendar?
If schools in Farmington are closed due to weather or other emergencies, we follow the Farmington cancellation policy. However, even if there is a morning delay, we still begin class at the originally scheduled time (9:00am). Although our vacation days typically coincide with Farmington's vacation schedule, we also welcome students from all towns in the surrounding areas including (but not limited to) Avon, Simsbury, Canton, Burlington, Bristol and Plainville. Therefore, our vacation days may not directly align with Farmington Public Schools. However, parents of enrolled students will receive a calendar in August that will outline all vacation days to allow for ample time to plan accordingly.
