WIS is now doing virtual snow days...meaning that they will not offer a 'snow make up day' for the students. Instead, they have teachers give a list of things for parents to do with their children at home while they are not at school.
What other private schools are doing this? |

| Holton has snow day work for the girls but the parents are not involved. |

What happens if the parents aren't available? Maybe the kid goes to a drop in program, a back up nanny fills in, or the kid just goes to a daycare option? |

| I don't know...basically, the 'work' is just 'suggested' but not required...the school just doesn't want to make up the snow days. |

| Our non-DC private sends out snow day assignments. I think this is the direction most schools are moving in. |

| To clarify, the "suggested snow day educational activities with parent or caretaker" at WIS are just for the primary school. Middle and upper school students have to check online for assignments. The work is intended, more or less, to make up for the lack of class time that day. This is quite common elsewhere now. |

| I think most privates send work to students via email. I personally love it. |

| Holton does this. Ruins snow days. It's not Princeton, people. |

| Holton's work is only a suggestion in case you need ideas, not mandatory at all. |

| Bad idea. Makes it easier for administration to not bother the c teachers with a snowy commute. |
