About Us : Policies : Weather Closings

Weather-related Schedule Changes

We follow Montgomery County's decision to open school late with one exception: we never open more than one hour late. If the county opens one hour late, we open one hour late. If the county opens two hours late, we open one hour late and the schedule would be as follows: Early Bird starts at 8:30 a.m.; classes begin at 9:30 a.m.

We follow the decisions of Montgomery County Public Schools. If they close, we close.

Weather may cause us to dismiss before 3:00 p.m. When this need arises, each family is called and each child accounted for. If family members are delayed by the weather, a staff member stays and provides for those children awaiting pick-up.

Thunderstorms or high winds can knock out power, but we have battery operated emergency lights that illuminate the hallways. We can operate successfully with less than full power for a few hours. If the emergency persists for more than a day, heating or cooling the building becomes an issue. You will be notified if such an emergency causes our regular schedule to change.
