Hello December!! ❄️ ⛄️ 🎄

❄️ Snow accumulation was significant.
🕐 Plows are out, but it will take a few hours to clear our northern county roads.
💻 Norwell will move to e-Learning for Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Bear Care and Bobcat Care will remain open.

Based on forecasted snow accumulations and sleet, Norwell Community Schools will be on a 2-hour delayed start for Tuesday, December 2, 2025.
We hope to be in-person following the delay, but we will provide an update by 7:15 tomorrow morning. Bear Care and Bobcat Care will be available on a regular schedule.
