Agree and nice! |

| Other Catholic HSs are closed tomorrow according to my kid. It’s nice. |
| Prep is closed today as well for the same reason. Looks like a Catholic School thing? |
| And some public schools in the area already had the day off as a professional development day. |
Yes. He gave them the day off. Gonzaga is off too. |
Stone Ridge is off, but we knew about it. What a nice thing! |
| DeMatha and the Heights are also closed today I think. |
In HS...yeah, cut the cord mama |
OP never said anything related to concerns about her kid staying home alone, just that she was surprised by the very last-minute announcement. Maybe she’s new to the school. I would never have anticipated that either. Y’all are the ones assuming she’s upset about needing to be home with her kid or something. |
| All private schools have heads day or Presidents’ Day off. It is a surprise once a year. A lot of boy’s schools pick the day after the Super Bowl. It is part of the fun to get the announcement last minute, OP. |
In the Arlington Diocese, the Bishop gives each principal of the schools a day they can select off. It is called the Bishop's day. For the last 5-6 years, our principal has used that to close the school the day after the Super Bowl. I think a bunch of the Arlington diocese schools do this. |
Our private school doesn't have this.... But given it's high school - I like this idea as a nice surprise. Before others started to reply to OP I wondered if it was a Senior prank! |
No they don’t. Neither our k-8 nor our current HS did/do this. |
