We have a Kings Dominion trip this Friday. Fingers crossed.

Ours on Thursday is for middle school students - all the band, orchestra, choir kids.

Hoping the air is a little better since it's a good hour further south?

Maybe? However South Carolina is reporting air quality problems from the fires too. Be prepared for change.

What will happen if we are outisde all day? I picked up my kids early from school today and let them play outside, there nothing wrong with the air. I am in the Fair-lakes area and I don't see anything a little bit foggy, but that all. They are making the same mistake they did with COVID.

Agree. I felt fine as did kuds being outside today.

Our swim team canceled practice this afternoon too.

They should keep activities as scheduled and leave it to the discretion of parents if they want their kids outside .

I do not get sick often, but the past couple of days before code red have been miserable and I’ve been able to smell smoke inside my house. I’ve got an awful headache from all of this. Grateful i don’t have to work outside.

But then the people running the activities have to be outside.

Then who will watch your darling on the swings.

There is a legitimate health risk. Some people are incredibly self-centered. Feel free to get your ‘fresh air’ after school. I’m sure you’ll be fine. And that’s okay.

FCPS just cancelled outdoor activities for the rest of the day. They said they're reevaluate for tomorrow by 9AM And our pool closed, as well.

Or you can lead the activity.

Many kids walk to and from school, and others are outdoors waiting for the bus. In case they decide to switch to virtual classes for the rest of the week, it wouldn’t hurt to prepare accordingly for those who need babysitting arrangements.

It’s going to be 2-3 days, you all need to calm down. If you feel so strongly, you can take your kids outside and play.

I don’t think so, it’s super nasty out. And a lot of kids have asthma too. It’s disappointing that this is going on but we should all be really reducing our time outside today and tomorrow and then we’ll go from there.

State championships are this weekend for many sports. Wonder how they will be affected.

I want them to cancel school tomorrow just to see some of your heads explode.

LOL - the Air Quality is listed as “unhealthy”. If anyone does protest, please do it outside so that you’ll get sick.

This is a public health issue. The organizations making the decisions on this (rightfully so) are subject to Hugh liabilities if someone gets sick.

These PPs have fully lost their minds. Being outside for brief periods when we are not in the maroon is FINE. If your kid walks to school you can drive them or arrange for a ride. If your kid has a serious health condition that makes them particularly sensitive to even brief exposures you can keep them home like a sick day. It makes ZERO sense for school to be cancelled here unless the air gets to NY level bad. It is not predicted that this will happen here. This is it a public health crisis in the DC area. I swear some of you are looking for one. You must miss COVID times.
