Snow Days (Maybe … Possibly …)
Best Ways to Stay in Touch
Best Ways to Stay in Touch
The Everett Public Schools (EPS) communicates snow days in a variety of ways. First and foremost, we will post the announcement as an alert on our website, so pops up before anyone can proceed to our homepage; we will share the cancelation with local media, including TV stations, WBZ Radio (1030), and the Boston Globe; we will post on social media; and we will send a text message to staff. (If you are not signed up to receive EPS text messages, please text “Yes” to 67587.)
