I’m from the Midwest and walked on many icy sidewalks as a kid going to school. You take them slowly and it’s fine. FFS.

PP drives their kid to school so they don’t think about sidewalks
My 7th grader walks almost a mile. I am the PP.
Oh so you have an almost teenager. And you never drive them in bad weather?
This child used to be in elementary school and walked to the bus stop in all weather. The kids do not care they are picking up on your signals that it’s super dangerous or uncomfortable. I drive mine if pouring rain. The cold and an occasional ice patch do not bother me. I am from Midwest though. The reaction here to winter weather is puzzling to me.
Ohhh walking to the bus stop. My 3rd grader walks half a mile by herself, and there are lots of negligent homeowners who haven’t treated the sidewalks so she ends up walking in the street.
Midwest? People there shame their neighbors fierce if they don’t salt sidewalks. Or did you even have sidewalks and just walk in the fields?
So go shame your neighbors.

As of about 4pm, the steps and entire walkway in front of DHMS were not shoveled. So, I don't see how they go on time given that.

If everyone remembers last January, people had to get over it and deal when we had unusual extended cold spell and snow/ice remained on the ground. Wear proper clothes and shoes and learn how to walk on snow and potential ice. Teach your kids how to deal with it.
There’s no walking on ice, you have to avoid it which often means walking in streets with rush hour drivers and icy conditions.
Sounds terrifying. Near death experience. All the rush hour highways in Arlington. Look keep your kids at home and let the majority who think kids can manage attend school.
Elementary kids have a 1 mile walk zone, you are being obtuse to think that is a safe environment when temperatures in the teens and there’s ice hazards scattered throughout.
Again keep your kids at home. Enjoy the day off school. If APS was going to call it they would have by now.

Why are you on a thread for not your school district with different weather conditions. Who cares about Montgomery county you’re on an APS thread.
