Schools on a Two-Hour Delay Monday Morning

The first day of spring is bringing snow that could make for a messy Monday morning, and most schools on the South Fork have prepared by announcing two-hour delays.

The Sag Harbor, East Hampton, Montauk, Southampton, Amagansett, Springs, Sagaponack, Wainscott, and Bridgehampton school districts have announced two-hour delayed openings for Monday in light of the weather forecast, which predicts four to eight inches of snow by the morning, according to a winter weather advisory issued by the National Weather Service.

In Sag Harbor, there will be no morning program, before-school child care at the elementary school, or morning pre-kindergarten session. Winter bus stops, which can be found on the district's website at sagharborschools.org, will be in effect. The delayed opening will not affect the timing of Monday's school board meeting and budget workshop, which is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

Additionally, the Ross School, Hayground School, and the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center will have a two-hour delayed start, and Our Lady of the Hamptons will begin classes at 10 a.m.

The Montauk School's pre-kindergarten class will begin at 10:30 a.m. An alert on the Montauk School's website notes that the delayed opening "can change in the morning depending on conditions."

Stony Brook Southampton will open at noon on Monday.

Also, all Southampton Town facilities will open on a two-hour delay.
