[QOTW] Weather Update [2/12/17]

[QOTW]

Hello Commonwealth School, I’m just messaging you to assure you that we 
WILL in fact be having school tomorrow. Now, I know many of you are 
concerned about the upcoming weather conditions, so I am just here to 
assuage some of your concerns.

Even though there still will be a tornado sweeping through Boston 
tomorrow, weather reports indicate it’s been downgraded from “End of the 
World” to “Semi-Apocalyptic.” Some other people have overreacted to this 
minor weather system but remember: Even though the mayor has issued a 
“full scale evacuation of the city immediately, for the love of god run 
for your lives” we do not adhere to city hall’s cancellation policy. 
Expect to be in session tomorrow.

In regards to transport, we are aware that the train system has been 
completely shut down, and that State Troopers are blockading all major 
roadways into the city. If you find yourself unable to sneak past the 
roadblocks, we advise you make a decision for yourself on whether to 
come in or not; we do, however, expect a majority of you to be able to 
make it past the authorities to get to school.

It’s also important to note that Roxbury Latin is still open for 
tomorrow, and I’ll be damned if we close before they do.

Thank you for your attention.
