Why do you need FCPS to announce it or know why it hasn’t been announced at 2pm on a Sunday? Are you seriously concerned that school will be happening tomorrow?

The need to control information and question every decision in this area is off the charts crazy.


With both parents working, I’d like to plan for the next day. And not be scrambling in the morning.


So you seriously and honestly believe that school is happening tomorrow and until you get that email announcing a closure, you’re paralyzed and unable to move forward with any planning???

Wow.

Dear god. We really are doomed.


Definitely not paralyzed. But would like to know.


Then why did you post that you didn’t want to be “scrambling in the morning?” That indicates that you are not confident that school will closed (despite EVERY weather report saying we’re getting a lot of snow). Are you really just sitting at home stressing out until you get an email from FCPS? What is getting in the way of you figuring out that school is not happening tomorrow?

Teacher here. If you think we are going back to school Wednesday you are crazy. Watch your kids and be happy for the time you get to spend with them. You will probably be watching them all week



We had to deal with them for 2 weeks this is March 2020 all over again.

Calling it now: FCPS CLOSED FOR THE WEEK.

Mark my words. Come back to this!


I hope you are wrong! (Though you are likely correct.) There is the possibility of snow next weekend. This could be a disaster.


They’re not going to close for the week. Simmer
down.


Wouldn’t be the worst thing. If there’s snow for kids, could be some core memories. Everyone remembers when the schools closed for a week in the 90s from snow.

Only time we we closed for a week was bizzard of 1996.


Nope. January 2022 we closed for a week. Although a large part of it might have been the huge number of people
Out due to Covid and it’s required absence policy.

We were taking about the 1990s I graduate high school 2002.
We didn’t many snow days, when we were out we had to make them up.
I lost count on how many days my daughter missed because of snow days.

Class of ‘96 here. Who remembers when they added 30 minutes to the day after spring break to make up for the week we missed??

Snowmageddon of February 2010 called and would like a word about your false statement.

The current forecast doesn’t justify a full week (Monday and Tuesday, likely delay Wednesday) and the new leadership has something to prove, so I assume kids will be back to normal Thursday/Friday.

If the storm exceeds any current forecast, maybe the full week.

Not factual. FCPS closed for a week during covid on the monday after winter break for about 1" of snow.

What are you talking about? Are you new to the county? We got 7 inches in 2022 and were closed for 4 days.
