DCPS last day of school?

[Anonymous]

Has DCPS announced the last day of school now that we've had snow days? The online calendar makes it look like:

6/17--school
6/18--no school
6/19--no school
6/20--school
6/12--school

Seems crazy to have two days off and then come back for Thursday and Friday. Is this really the plan?!

There is another post on this and the short answer is no one is sure. I have called my school, they don’t know. I emailed DCPS directly… no response.

I'm going to guess that they were waiting for the rest of winter to play out. Now that it seems as if our snow chances are done for the year, I bet they announce the plan soon.

Nothing official yet, but seems highly likely to be:

6/17 school
6/18 school
6/19 no school
6/20 school (last day for students)
6/22 no school (teacher day)

(PP here, correcting Friday date)

I heard from another parent who "heard from the chancellor" that Monday the 17th was still the date. However, this seems suspect to me. I just don't understand why it's so difficult to update the calendar. The highly likely scenario listed above is what I would have thought given the original calendar and how snow days were shown, but it boggles the mind that it's not officially posted/updated anywhere yet.

By executive decision, school ends for my kids 6/14. It may have costs, but at least it has certainty. I recommend that approach.

Why does DCPS pretend that 180 days are required and build in snow days if they are just going to waive to days every year?

I saw a screenshot in the WTU Facebook group of an email from the chancellor confirming 6/17 as the last day. Why they can’t just email everyone, well that’s how DCPS does things.

why publish a calendar?

I actually need to know this asap so I can cancel that week of camp, if need be. Will save us $600.

Get your act together DCPS.

The Principal of our DCPS elementary confirmed that it will be June 17 for all DCPS
