You don’t. Show up, teach as usual. Stop when you can and pick up the next class. Be flexible. Wed will likely be a snow day and you can adjust your plans later. It’s not that serious and doesn’t need to be that stressful. This is why I had to leave middle school. - hs teacher
Just let the teacher be.

Maybe learn to read a weather report. It will be 53 on Thursday. We’ll be back in school that day.
If we only get a little bit of snow, maybe. If we get more than a little bit, then one day of 40s or 50s won't magic the snow away in an afternoon. It will definitely make a lot of ice overnight though.
You do know that it’s going to rain on Wednesday night? And temperatures will be above freezing on Thursday morning.
I have freezing rain and ice on my forecast for Wednesday night

Oakton HS basically has 1 hr classes and is skipping 3rd period (advisory/Cougar Time). Lunch is 11:30-12, so any drivers can leave at 11:30.

I believe only ES have a 3 hour early release plan starting this year for the Mondays. MS and HS do not appear to have schedules in place. Can someone please clarify ?

It will be a waste of a day and most of it will be getting everyone to lunch

Well, yes, today we had a 3 h early release. And we will have 7 all together this year, not including snow days. Are you even an fcps parent?
They meant for the snow it's typically 2 hours go take your meds

Too many families will not pick their kids up early.
I have been through many early releases, and I’ve never had a student not get picked up.
I did I've had a lot sent to the office and the parents all said the traffic was bad coming from the city.

Same. Honestly I hope this changes to a closure because this seems bad for the kids. It supposedly will be snowing when my MS kid comes home at noon.
and the high schoolers driving if it starts early.
