Weston Public Schools 

COVID Dashboard

The Weston Public Schools is dedicated to ensuring the health and safety of our students and staff. In an effort to provide the most up-to-date information to the school community, we have developed a weekly Covid-19 dashboard.  This dashboard will provide a clearer picture of how the pandemic is affecting the Weston Public Schools community.  The WPS Covid-19 dashboard will be updated weekly on Fridays, through June 6. It will not be updated over the summer.  

For more information about Weston’s efforts to track and mitigate COVID, visit the Town’s Board of Health website at: https://www.weston.org/159/Board-of-Health
