When are teachers supposed to do final grades and break down their rooms? Then DCUMers will bitch because teachers are doing it in class before the last day.

True in VA. But I don't think DCPS closed at all last year.

Some charters closed, DCPS stayed open.

Did some schools close for the Pope? Are they making it up?

Or in Virginia, a puff of cold air.

You only need a forecast of snow to have a snow day.

Doesn't matter, because we ain't gone have no snow this winter

Just saw a link to this letter with DCPS policy on making up any snow days this year:

When will school be made up?

State law requires us to have a minimum of 180 school days. To meet this requirement, some snow days
will need to be made up at the end of the year.

• If we have 1 snow day, there will be no changes to the calendar.
• If we have 2 snow days, June 16 will become a full day and June 17 will become a half-day with
dismissal at 12:15pm. The Professional Development day for teachers will not be rescheduled.
• If we have 3 snow days, May 23 and June 16 will become full days and June 17 will become a halfday
with dismissal at 12:15 PM. Neither the Professional Development day nor the Parent-Teacher
Conference day will be rescheduled.
