Snow Day next Tuesday?

[Anonymous]

The winter storm warning comes into place at 12:00. Not even the middle schools end before that.

Good point. A closing would be best.

I don’t. I never thought I’d say it, but I miss Braband. At least he wasn’t afraid to say what the plan was and he didn’t hold off and make everyone wait on his announcement. If he was gonna close, he’d say so, if he’s not, he’d tell us.

Oh please. That man hated being yelled at on Twitter. Do you not remember March 12, 2020? There was no plan for a Covid closure, then when people yelled at him online, they announced a closure at midnight for the next morning. It was ludicrous and I’m still salty about it.

Falls Church City called early release for tomorrow

I think that’s kind of dumb but they are a small area so maybe it makes sense. FCPS needs to cancel.

The weather reports indicate that the snow won't stick until early evening, so I don't see why an early release would be a bad idea. I've worked in the county for a long time, and early closings used to happen more frequently.

If loudoun can do a 3 hour early release so can FCPS

LCPS just announced 3 hour early dismissal so prepare yourselves - that’s definitely what’ll happen in Fairfax

Also, how does it affect buses and Kiss & Ride? (I am sorry if there is an answer somewhere, I couldn't find it)

They used to do on the day off, but again they used to call snow days on the day off,. but parents now are so insane that they have to call them the day before, so I think if we do have a early release it will be the day before. I am praying to all the Gods that we have school tomorrow and Friday. I have to go to the office now, FCPS doesn't understand that they are making us go in the office now.

Your return to the office has no bearing on the decision FCPS will make which is based on the safety of 185,000 students. Get a grip.

+1. Complete irrelevant.

So a school system where the teachers are required to go in person every day is who poster thinks doesn’t understand going to work in person?

Why?

To have two free days home with the kids I would imagine. Isn't that rather obvious?

Early dismissal tomorrow, off Wednesday… mark my words

[Anonymous]

London and falls church have much smaller school systems and transportation systems. The logistics are different for a huge county/system.

Prince William is a 2 hour early dismissal, Manassas as well… and of course Stafford canceled.

No idea why FCPS is dragging their feet

Because it's a tough decision. Storm warning isn't until 12 or 1 pm. Kids will probably be fine with a full day but there's a chance they won't be and it's super chaotic to have a surprise early dismissal.
