Friday?

What are we thinking, folks? CWG says 1-3 inches. I'm guessing APS will close, but they will wait until the morning to make the call after the last 24 hours...

No chance of school.

I think the question is whether they will even pretend to consider opening or having a delayed arrival, or if they will just call it at 5PM today, hours before a single flake hits the ground.

I’d prefer to know now. If it’s staffing they are bound to know already. If it’s snow I’m comfortable waiting.

[Anonymous]

Roads will be slick in the early AM which means buses aren't going to be able to safely go on the road. They are cancelling.

They should wait until 5 am- we will know if it snowed or not by then. This storm is one that makes sense to wait until the morning because it should be over by 5 am. However, if FCPS calls it tonight then APS might too.

[Anonymous]

My guess: email tonight saying they're going to let us know by 5am (or whatever). At which point they cancel.

Learn from today- the forecast doesn't matter. They will do what Fairfax does.

If they haven’t learned their lesson to wait until FCPS announces, there’s no hope. Whatever fcps announces is what APS will do.

+1. Without staff they cannot open. We haven't always made the same call as FCPS but factor in Covid-related absences and our small district will be following them.

Maybe the snow will just be a dusting…we can hope, right?

+1. Just got the email. — FCPS parent

Today and tomorrow are religious observance days when no teaching is allowed, o assignments can be given or due, no sports events can take place, no speakers assemblies or pep rallies can happen, etc., etc, because some Hindu or Eastern Orthodox kids might be out and equity demands that if one kid can’t learn, the 179,999 can’t learn. . We have 12 such da FYI (pile on the learning loss). FCPS was never going to open if there was a slick spot on any sidewalk in the county because it’s not worth it for an non-instructional day with huge absentee rates in the best of time. And no parent would send their kid and risk Omicron for “sit there quietly while I grade papers day” (MS/HS) or movie day (ES)), unless they had an ES kid and legit needed childcare (and I’m a working mom, so I don’t say that with snark).

I’m so sorry out f**ked up policies are hurting other counties now. We should at least keep our crazy to ourselves. We’ll vote the God awful SB out in 2023. I promise.
