I'm talking about APS but I live in Alexandria- so referenced the roads there. I just got in from a run and the side roads in Del Ray are NOT fine.


Are you a teacher or do you work for APS?


No, just a random Alexandria resident wondering of the status of Arlington Public Schools.

Yes, I am a teacher in Arlington.




2 hr delay - 99% chance
Closed - 66% chance


Predicted to be 10* at 10am?
Revising to 80% chance closed


+1. Fairfax’ll close, then APS will close. I can only think of 1 time in the past 6 years when APS didn’t follow FCPS.


Yeah sorry about that. It is because of teachers like me and lack of subs. I can’t afford Arlington so I take off when my FCPS kids have snow days. They can’t legally stay home alone.


There is no legal home alone age in Virginia.

If they are kindergarten, sure dicey. But age 8 is 100% home alone.

I really can't imagine they close. Roads are clear. Sidewalks are clear. Probably a delay, but even that doesn't seem a lock.

Looks mostly plowed to me

That shows my street as being plowed. It is still fully covered in snow and slush and will become a sheet of ice overnight with no chance of melting tomorrow.

I’m going with closed for tomorrow.

Yep, let's close all the schools because you can't drive out of your cul-de-sac and chose to send your kid to an option school instead of your local school, utilizing the bus! That aligns pretty well with what an option school parent would say.

It's not a given that FCPS will close. Our new superintendent is from Washington state where they have real snow lol. I'm hoping whatever it is, both counties make the same call, and sooner than 5am please. (My kids go to school in APS, I work in FCPS)

Ugh. I think they should open on time, but I know you all are right about the delay/closure possibilities.
