Our school is 3-6 and parties were cancelled although they exchanged valentines the following Tuesday. I was glad! I think it would be nice to reschedule for the little ones though.

Our MCPS Elementary school had them on their first day back - Tuesday Feb 18 even though their was a two hour delay. And many parents still showed up too!

Our daycare also held them on the same Tuesday afternoon.

My 1st grader's class had them the second day back--a note came home the first day saying it would be the next day. At preschool, they had it the next Friday.

Our MCPS school didn't have them. My kid is a fourth grader and this is the second time since he started elementary that weather forced the cancellation. OP, I suspect we're in the same catchment since not many MCPS schools are K-2. It's nice that they do parties for holidays, but really it seems insane that any parent would be upset about having to cancel due to weather, or any kid either.

Ours (in DC) had small celebrations the day they went back. They had a good time and then back to work!

Two schools -- one had a party on the day back, the other just had a quick treat and exchanged Valentines.

Its not really timely anymore, but I'm wondering what other mcps elementary schools did about the Valentines Day parties? My kids are at a public primary school (grades pre-k to 2nd) and they were not allowed to have the parties on the first day back after the snow days. I know it may seem silly to be upset about it, but they are little kids, is a 30 minute party that bad? Is this what happened at all schools or just ours?
