MCPS Weather Update: School Remains Open Tuesday, Evening Activities Canceled, After-School Childcare – Please Arrange to Pickup Your Child Close to Dismissal
MCPS has been closely monitoring the incoming winter storm. Forecasts predict snow to begin early this afternoon (Tuesday), with heavier snowfall and road accumulation not expected until early this evening. Temperatures are forecast to remain above freezing; treated roads and school surfaces are predicted to remain passable. During afternoon dismissal, it will be snowing, but icy and unsafe conditions are not expected until late into the evening. Bus transportation may be delayed on some routes because we have instructed drivers to exercise caution when driving during snow conditions that may temporarily impede visibility.
As a result:
- MCPS schools will remain open for the full school day with a normal dismissal time on Tuesday, February 11.
- School and community-use activities for the afternoon and evening are canceled, including field trips, games, team practices, and programs in schools and on school grounds.
- After-school childcare operates, but families are encouraged to pick up their children as soon as possible. Families are strongly encouraged to contact their childcare provider for specific information.
