To the poster that says why are we doing private, I’m not seeing a correlation between closing early one day and my reason for choosing private which has nothing to do with length of school day.

Me either. And CES for the win!

Was shocked to hear local public school systems are closing early today because of anticipated rain/wind. Our private doesn’t follow MCPS for delays/closings. Are any privates closing early?

Why are you shocked? You do realize that a public school system has a much greater risk profile they need to consider than a private school. They have to consider PreK-12 students and 100K+ more students. There is significantly more bussing of kids going on. Thousands of kids are walkers. Not to mention other area schools also were disliking early or closed.

Just cancelled US activities, huzzah! Pick up at 3:15 instead of 5:30.

Then homeschool. Then you don’t have to worry about any of this drama.

You’re the one who is the drama queen. Such an over-reaction to one day!

Teachers (and new drivers) should absolutely risk driving home in severe weather so you can go for yet another promotion at your high-powered job.

It is too bad the paycheck for teaching history does not include hazard pay for driving home in extreme inclement weather. Donate more money to your child’s school maybe?

Our school canceled all after school activities and games.

I’m not stressing about early closing. We do split shifts so one of us is home at this time. Today it’s my spouse.

SSFS will follow regular schedule with normal bus in afternoon but all after school activities canceled

Both my kids schools just emailed they have cancelled afternoon activities due to weather.

At my kids schools there will be.

Ours. Very annoying but ppl come from a wide geographic area

Mine out at 12:45. They follow MCPS.

Our private in Anne Arundel Co is closing early, but we have flooding issues here.
