[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Arlington diocese doesn’t allow virtual learning - our Arlington school was all closed all week.

That said none of the streets in Arlington or Alexandria can probably handle carpool or street who park on streets.  None of the schools want to be closed and extend the school year this was a massive ice storm [/quote]

Our Arlington Diocese k-8 school follows Fairfax County Public Schools, but only regarding whether the school will physically open or not. This week there was an added complexity because FCPS schools had planned no school, teacher work days Thursday and Friday because of end-of-quarter.

While we have not physically been to school this week, only Monday was a snow day for our school. Starting Tuesday of this week, our school switched to asynchronous learning days, with teachers assigning work via email or Schoology. Middle school students have been required to submit completed work the day it was assigned - unless a different due date was specified - and lower school students will submit their work when they return to school. Because they are still completing work, asynchronous learning days do not count as snow days for us.

Our 2-track Catholic hasn't switched to virtual. We got one vague email from the principal about why they would close Thursday (nothing for why closed today). No emails from teachers. I am extremely disappointed in the response. [/quote]

Real question: Do you feel that the principal owes parents a new email everyday to offer a new reason for being closed? Do you view the prior day’s reason as no longer valid? [/quote]
