Heat prompts some CT schools to plan for early dismissals

In anticipation of the heat toward the beginning of the week, some Connecticut schools are planning to have students leave early.

One of those schools is the Ashford School in Ashford. The school is planning to dismiss students at 12:25 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, citing “excessive heat.”

Bridgeport Public Schools are also planning to dismiss early on Monday.

Hebron Public Schools are planning to have students leave three hours earlier on Monday as well as Tuesday.

These aren’t the only schools expecting to have students leave early. NBC Connecticut reported public schools in Ashford, Ellington, New Hartford, Simsbury, Southington and Windsor Locks would also have students leave early on Monday.

Hartford and Tolland counties are under heat advisories expected to last through 8 p.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
