In case you didn't open the Things to Know email:
Making Up the Snow Days As a result of the recent winter storm, MCPS needs to make up four instructional days. Two non-instructional days will be changed to instructional days: Friday, March 20 and Thursday, June 18, which will be an early release day and the new last day of the school year. Students observing Eid al-Fitr on March 20 will receive an excused absence. Other make-up days are being considered, but no decisions have been made. MCPS will request a waiver from the state for some of the missed instructional days. Pending the outcome, the district will update its make-up plan and share a revised school calendar with families. |

Early release? Good one MCPs. Those who observe were probably going to be out anyways and be excused because religious reason is an excused absence.
Jine 18th? What are K-11th going to do that day? Watch a movie? (Oh wasn't supposed to say that out loud?) |
And you do? Lol. Thanks for sharing. |
They announced this two days ago. |
Im going to give my 9th graders an exam worth 15% of their MP4 grade |
Doubt it. Last year my kids watched videos and did crossword puzzles in class. |
Um, good for you. Did you want a prize or something? |
| 9th graders at Churchill are going to get a big surprise in June |
| Why don’t they take the day after President’s Day? |
Because it’s next week. Too soon. Changing next month’s schedule provides more notice. |
Notice for what? No one planned to be out of school all last week, last week's lessons are starting to be used this week and will go into next week. Plenty of time. |
It's a 4 day weekend. Families have vacations planned. Use your brain. |
So give excused absences for those who have vacations planned. Problem solved |
So? |
