Out of an abundance of caution, all MCPS schools and offices will operate on a Code Yellow two-hour delay on Tuesday, Dec. 2, the school system shared at 4:55am Tuesday morning.
Per MCPS, “The National Weather Service (NOAA) is predicting snow and a wintry mix in some areas of Montgomery County with the potential for more accumulation in the northern parts of our area. This will create visibility issues and difficult travel conditions across some of Montgomery County during peak travel time for students. Our employees commute from many areas that are likely to be impacted, including outside Montgomery County, and students travel throughout the county for various programs, making their safety our top priority. We recognize that storms like this can have varying impacts, with some areas experiencing little to no disruption. We understand the frustration this may cause and appreciate your patience as we prioritize the well-being of our entire community.
At this time, the following schedule adjustments are in place:
- Schools and offices will open two hours late.
- Emergency personnel report on time and follow guidelines for delayed openings.
- Morning bus routes will operate on a two-hour delay.
- All field trips and activities that begin at 10:30 AM or earlier are canceled, including programs at Thomas Edison High School of Technology.
- Infant and Toddler appointments scheduled before 10 AM are canceled; appointments scheduled at 10 AM or later will continue as planned.
- Morning PreK/Head Start and AM PreK Special Education programs are canceled.
- Morning childcare is canceled.
- All-day childcare programs will operate on a two hour delay.
- Afternoon PreK/Head Start and PM PreK Special Education programs will begin at their regular time.
