Hello, Burlington!

The snow is beginning to move in, but I wouldn’t expect word on how the school system will call it until early tomorrow morning if I had to guess. We are in the 3-6” band, according to WHDH, with travel impacts expected tonight into tomorrow morning.

Speaking of schools, if you or someone you know is an early childhood educator looking to take a new step for your career, then check out the newest job opening in Burlington Public Schools. The town is looking for a preschool teacher who is enthusiastic about implementing a play-based curriculum to teach the youngest of Burlington students. The job is at Sprouts, which is the preschool/daycare that BPS teachers and, if there are additional openings, town employees, can send their children to. The ideal candidate can begin as soon as possible. Learn more about the position or apply.
