[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I didn't see this email--how did you get it. This very unfair and I have not just seen this AFTER the school's office is closed. I am going to the school first thing tomorrrow morning--will post what they say.

I didn't mean to imply I got an email about the AAP deadline.  I was referring to the email I got through the "keep in touch" system, saying that school was open for teachers and staff but not for students.  Every time FCPS makes an emergency announcement, they post it on the website and also email it via "keep in touch," which everyone is supposed to be signed up for.  I got several emails during the blizzard with updates on school closings.

I don't think it's unfair at all to enforce the deadline as of today, but I think schools may still accept submissions tomorrow.

Information about the schools' open/closed status has been on the FCPS website daily, and it has also been emailed regularly.  (Not to mention that it's all over the news channels and message boards like this.)  At some point, you become responsible for finding out when the materials are due.  Presumably you knew about the Feb. 5th / Feb. 12th deadlines, so you should have taken steps to make sure you understood how the deadline was being extended.  Sorry, but the deadline was extended until schools opened, and schools were open today for staff and teachers. [/quote]

If this logic is used then the application would have been due even before February 15.  I believe the schools were open for the staff the week prior. [/quote]
