No. They really don't. Students an still have a significant school day tomorrow.

They sent a mass text to those of us extended day families:

“ [APS] Friendly Reminder for Extended Day Families
In the event that there is an Early Dismissal due to emergency or inclement weather (Code 3), the after-school Extended Day program will be closed.
Please make sure your student is aware of their alternate dismissal plan.”

Seems like a good chance they are considering an early dismissal…

I disagree. I think having buses on the road at 2, which there would be for several elementary schools, is a mistake.

Time to hop in your bunker. Bring the snacks and booze.

Fairfax’s after care is staying open until 615pm and ours is closing right when school ends.

This is a joke, right?

Tomorrow will be a totally wasted day. It’s babysitting

Yes also in high school. My school made classes 31 minutes each to account for all the lunches. I can’t do anything meaningful in 31 minutes. It’s a wasted day instructionally.

FCCPS gets around that by not having lunch on early dismissal days. I’m not sure how they do it but they have longer classes, no lunch in HS.

Then I guess it doesn’t count as an instructional day? I thought lunch needed to be served for it to count.

That’s too bad for your school. My kid in an APS HS gets a lot done of early release days.
