Anyone know if weather related delays also overlapped with any homeland alerts that may have been issued for the area (for obvious reasons such as last weekend and this week's events)?

Right. They should not have done it in the first place but given they announced it 2 days ago they should have just kept it knowing they announced it early so that parents could make plans. Changing things around at the last minute and then claiming it's a moment of joy is disrespectful to thousands of families.


Yep, after parents already rescheduled everything

Get used to lots of parents making their frustrations about your poor decision making known

Agree. They messed up so bad yesterday, most high schools canceled sports practices that didn’t need to be and teens were already going home before MCPS changed the error.

Whoever decides who writes, edits, and submits these notifications needs to be fired.


You're looking at Taylor, Essie and Cram.


You wrote the others' last names why not for Essie?


Are you serious?

Same. My teen loves to relax instead of waking up before dawn, but her math teacher will be so happy! She hates administering tests on shortened periods, and now she'll be able to squeeze in all the end of semester tests



Must be that same math teacher lol

Not an mcps call. Look elsewhere for your explanation.
