I’m so sorry. This implementation is such an absurd mess. After such a horrible year, to pull the rug out from a bunch of school kids like that is just ridiculous.

Because after this crap show of a year it would be really messed up to not give the elementary and middle school kids the closure of a last day. Feel free to keep yours home if you want.


Thanks, hon. We’re in Loudoun, so we’ve been done since last Tuesday.

Are you kidding? That's horrible! Why would they do that to the kids?

APS just tweeted. School is definitely taking place tomorrow.

One more day!

They are not going to close schools on the last day on only hours’ notice. That is clearly a miscommunication in the county website.

Since it falls on a Saturday, Friday has been deemed a Federal Holiday. Many agencies will have the day off tomorrow.

Still haven't heard from my school either.

The county website says public schools are closed, but I haven't heard anything from DD's school. It's the last day, so I don't really care, but it would be good to hear some communication!
