Snow Day/Records Day?

[Anonymous]

Sent a message to our school but haven’t heard back yet — anyone have prior experience with a (potential) snow day falling on records/end of term day? Or have you heard yet from your DCPS on what would happen in this scenario? Basically if we have a snow day Monday 1/26, does the scheduled R/PD (closed to students) day slide to Tuesday 1/27 (understand teachers need to do be able to do what they need to do), or does it just stay as is? Figured we should start exploring childcare for Tuesday now if there’s the potential for a slide.

Thank you!!

There's no way in hell the kids are going to be back to school on Tuesday if the forecast holds.

It doesn't slide AND you should start exploring child care for Tuesday. You will need to go back to work before the kids go back to school, post-storm.

Yeah, I would assume school will be closed Tuesday and then late the rest of the week.

Before virtual learning, if there was snow on PD day, the PD day was canceled.

If they cancel pd for the snow, I’ll be pissed.

I know the kids don’t have school on Monday but do you think they will have school the rest of the week?

Last year DC got 7.2 inches of snow and closed for two days, I think because it was so cold nothing melted or everything refroze overnight. The storm ends Monday so if we do get 7 inches I would say two days off is a fair possibility.

The bulk of the snow will be Sunday so if it’s a similar storm kids will be back Tuesday. FWIW I didn’t think school should have been open on time last year on that third day because the roads in my neighborhood were ice. But DCPS always pushes opening (except during Covid I guess).

School is not going to open until Wednesday at the earliest.

My job doesn't close because of snow, we just don't go into the office and work virtually. Why wouldn't the teachers do what they need to do virtually on Records Day?

From a Central Office source- teachers are going to be told to work virtually Monday. It is a record keeping day and that can be done at home. It will not be a snow day.

Our principal was allowing teachers to work remotely for this PD day anyway.

It’s going to be bitterly cold next week, so whatever falls this weekend isn’t going anywhere soon. And the forecast for DC proper now is trending toward a couple of inches of sleet on top of the snow, which will become a sheet of ice. If they’re back in school before Thursday I would be surprised.
