They won't get a waiver unless they use at least some makeup days first.

January 29 and March 31 are avaliable.

Because some years we really don’t get snow and people would rather start the school year later and end the school year earlier rather than adding many extra days “just in case.” Think of it like health insurance. You can pay a lower premium and get a high deductible plan, knowing that you’ll pay less overall if you don’t need the healthcare and if you do, you’ll just pay for it out of pocket (and you’re covered for something catastrophic). Versus a plan where you pay a higher premium upfront “just in case” but you may not have a “just in case” so you’re out the extra money.

And get ready for next year's calendar, as they have only built in one snow day.

Oh, that is too bad. I already sign up my kids with summer camp starting on June 16th. I see there could be some snow tomorrow afternoon. I hope school eithetr open on time or delayed opening tomorrow wedneaday.

MCPS only builds in two snow days so they have now been used up.

How many snow days are built into the calendar with June 13th as last day?

Not for long.

Yes.

As of now, yes. It could still change if there are additional snow days.

With today and tomorrow being closed, is june 13th still the last day of school?
