We had a preview of spring and it certainly was wonderful, but winter is not done with us yet! Listed below are reminders of policies for inclement weather.
Weather related closings:
- If Syracuse schools are closed, there is no PEACE lunch.
- Meals on Wheels is closed if the Baldwinsville and/or Liverpool schools are closed.
- Canton Woods is closed only when the village of Baldwinsville is closed.
As always, use your best judgment for staying safe in the winter months.
