Weather-Related Schedule Changes
In the event of inclement weather, Westminster will communicate any schedule changes through the school’s official communication channels, including community email. Families may also call the school at (860) 408-3000 after hours for weather-related updates.
Because approximately 70% of Westminster students live on campus and many day students live nearby, the school rarely cancels classes. When weather affects travel, faculty adjust classroom instruction as appropriate.
If a student expects to arrive late or be absent due to weather or travel conditions, parents should notify the Deans’ Office by contacting Rachel Falco at (860) 408-3020 or rfalco@westminster-school.org, or by contacting their student’s Form Dean.
Vacation Travel
The Deans’ Office coordinates van transportation between campus and Bradley International Airport and Hartford Union Station (rail and bus) at the beginning and end of school vacations.
Because students return from many different locations and at varying times, return transportation to campus is offered at scheduled pickup times from Bradley Airport and Hartford Union Station. Pickup schedules are shared with students through Westminster’s official communication channels before each return to campus.
Students whose travel plans do not align with scheduled van service are responsible for arranging alternate transportation to campus.
