WILMINGTON, MA Wilmington Public Schools will be remote beginning Friday, Superintendent Glenn Brand said, due to the recent virus surge in the community.
Health Director Shelly Newhouse said Thursday that the town has over 200 active positive cases and a positive test rate over 7 percent higher than most of our surrounding towns.
Based upon current conditions within Wilmington (including the positivity rate & total number of individuals in quarantine) and the recommendation of our Board of Health, WPS will transition to a fully remote learning model beginning on Friday, December 18.

During a normal year, the news of a snow storm heading for Wilmington would bring on the prospect that school could be canceled. That prospect has dimmed with online school options. (Shutterstock)
WILMINGTON, MA During a normal year, the news of a snow storm heading for Wilmington would bring on the prospect that school could be canceled. Amid pandemic and with an online school system in place, that prospect in Wilmington has dimmed somewhat.
This year, because of hybrid and distance learning models in place, the state has granted permission to districts to shift to a distance learning day instead of cancelling in-person school because of inclement weather. This day will count as a day of school and all students will be expected to log in online to classes.
