Petitions started to allow students to have snow days instead of virtual learning days
ROCKY HILL, CT (WFSB) In the past, snow meant delays if not canceling of classes altogether, but not this year.
The state is allowing schools to opt for virtual learning when the weather is bad and still count that as an official day, but that has some parents and students calling for the return of the snow day.
It used to be a rite of passage for students to wake up hoping to find out if they have school or not. Then, they would be able to head out to local parks and play in the snow.
As many Connecticut students returned to in-person classes this week for the first time in 2021, public health experts say recent fluctuations among K-12 student and staff COVID-19 case numbers could reflect less testing and reporting over winter break, followed by a spike due to holiday gatherings and travel.
