Many have no choice but to leave the children to fend for themselves. At the younger elementary level, that means no school work is etting done.

I have a friend who is a single mom to an 8 and a 6 year old. She has to drastically cut her hours to be home with them. So less income for her.

Yup still at home. It’s like March of 2020 again.


It’s still hard to get any work done with kids running around the house all day.

This was inevitable once OPM closed. They have never opened when the feds were closed. Nobody wants to stick their neck out and I probably wouldn’t either in that position.


My high school kid is walking to the bus stop before 7. I thought they decided at 5am most of the time (we are new to MCPS).

For us, it’s one time when we benefit from having one parent who is a non-teleworking fed. Was floored when OPM called it when they did though!

Negative much. They sent out notification around 6:15am, and had announced 2hr delay last evening. Good grief

All the snow days this week seem like divine intervention. I’ve been sending my son in to school but I’m breathing a small sign of relief. The lack of communication by MCPS about their COVID policy and consistency is baffling. McKnight needs to go.
