The new year may have just started, but Westport Elementary School and Westport Middle High School will be closed on Wednesday.

Superintendent Fran Roy said the closures are due to an unforeseen well water issue.

“While this does not impact the first day of Kindergarten at Macomber School, it may impact bus pick-up and drop-off times,” Roy said in a letter to parents.

Students are asked to be at their bus stop 15 to 20 minutes before the posted times.
