So, how many school districts cancelled classes today?

[Deb in IA]

Let's do a count - give your school district and tell us if school is cancelled today.


I'll start:

Iowa City Public and Parochial schools were cancelled yesterday, but open today. Buses running on hard surface roads only.

I can round up the whole Richmond area: Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Hopewell, Surry, Nottoway, Goochland, Louisa, Albemarle, Charlottesville, Orange, New Kent. I bet all of Northern Va is shut down too. Our county is on Day 8 of no school because of the snow.

 

[marcyinPA]

Bethlehem Area School District: Closed Wednesday. Announcement was made on Tuesday. Still not sure about Thursday, however it is still snowing hard here right now. If I were a betting girl, I'd say that school will be closed tomorrow too.

 

[JessicaR]

All Long Island schools are closed today.

 

[AshleyW]

Kirkwood Community College - closed yesterday (I didn't have class), open today (I have class) Go figure.

I'm in central NJ and we closed today although its not real bad out. We got snow overnight that turned into rain this morning. The kids had a half day today for conferences so they probably could have went. I'm near the shore area so I think that is why we had rain. North Jersey and NYC seem to have more snow. NYC closed schools today which is rare for them. Its like only the 3rd time in 6 or 8 years I think they said. It is turning back into snow now.

Yep, here in Fairfax County, VA and surrounding Northern VA counties, they've been out since last Friday AND last Wednesday was a snow day AND the Monday and Friday before that were "teacher workdays" (end of the quarter).

My DD actually hates missing school. (DH hasn't complained a bit since he works for the Federal Gov't and has been off since Friday). The county used-up the 3 built-in snow days before Christmas break. Everything after that has to be made-up by attending on holidays and by extending the school year which wasn't originally scheduled to end until June 22nd anyway. Glad our trip to WDW isn't until August - they might be out by then.

We're in Ocean County and all of the schools are closed. We had a lot of rain this a.m but it's snowing really hard right now. I'm wondering about tomorrow.

...I can vouch for that....some of the districts in our area that were closed are Allendale, Bergenfield, Bogota, Carlstadt, Cliffside Park, Dumont, Elmwood Park, Fairview, Fort Lee, Garfield, Hasbrouck Heights, Leonia, Little Ferry, Lodi, Maywood, Palisades Park, Paramus, Ridgefield, Rochelle Park, Saddlebrook, Teaneck, Wallington, and Wood-ridge...

Not here! Well it's raining right now but we've had 60 degree and sunny weather for a while now.

Yes, I'm bragging. It's nice because we've been all the bs weather (it seems like it at least- I know it's not entirely true) so it's nice to finally have a moderate weather atmosphere. Although... it's still abnormal, January 2010 was the warmest January on record. I really hope that doesn't mean another VERY hot summer.

 

[Chelley00]

We're in Central Indiana, and we've been closed for 2 days. Most of the western suburbs of Indy have been. Not really sure why, to tell you the truth. We have a lot of snow and it's really windy and blowing, but the roads are clear. Shouldn't complain though, cuz when the kids don't have school, I get to stay home too

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Just about all of CT schools are closed. State workers are to begin staggered release.

 

[cepmom]

I'm in MA, south of Boston. My kids were released from school early today at 11:15 and 11:50 due to the snow....except that it's now 2:45 which is the kids' normal release time and we haven't seen any snow yet!

my afternoon meeting was cancelled due to the weather and I called in to my other job for tonight since the weather reports keep saying it's going to be bad I don't mind driving as much but DH is stuck in Ohio because his flight home was cancelled and I didn't want MIL out driving in the snow tonight. I'm wondering when it's going to start

 

[N.Bailey]

Pretty much everything in the central PA area was closed today. I think it would be easier to find out which districts did have school today. Entire towns are closed down in our area.

 

[JerseyJanice]

Oh, yeah! And many more, including all the Bergen County-run schools, which means I'm home too.

I wonder if the district I live in will be closed tomorrow. It would make sense to cancel Thursday's school day since we're off on Friday and Monday instead having all next week off like most of the other Bergen districts. As a taxpayer, I don't think it's worth plowing the high school lots for only one day before a 4-day weekend, especially when we've used only one of the three snow days built into this year's calendar.

Fairfax County's schedule is now looking like this..

Lost the following student holiday:
February 15 (because of the Feb 3rd snow day)

Then Friday(Feb 5th) was a snow day:
so lost April 12th(student holiday/teacher work-day at end of 3rd quarter)

Then
Monday was a snow day, will not be made up

And then
Tuesday was a snow day, so go to school an extra day at end of school year (add June 23)

And
today/Wednesday is a snow day, will not be made up

If Thursday is a snow day (IF?!? )
Another extra day will be added to end of school year(add June 24)

*IF* Friday is a snow day, it will not be made up.

There have been no provisions built into the school calendar for snow days beyond 10. When this happened before, minute have been added onto the school day to eventually make up for the Federally-mandated 180 days. I wouldn't be surprised if the two-hours early day (May 28th) is done away with for the same reason.

The Feds might possibly lift the 180 days of instruction requirement on a one-time/natural-disaster basis.

agnes!

 

[aristocatz]

I believe all towns in Western Massachusetts, except one (Greenfield) were closed today.

It actually JUST started snowing around here about an hour ago!

I'm hoping that we receive a state of emeergency repreve from making up the snow days. In Charles County MD it looks like we will be attending school an extra week in June (already built into the schedule) and probably during spring break...our other built in snow day make-up.

We're closed the rest of the week! I'm guessing that Calvert and St. Mary's counties are too.

Oh, my DH has also been home since Friday with snow days. He too follows the Fed gov't's closures.

 

[lynxstch]

all schools here,,and pretty much the entire state have been shut all week..and they just announced no school Thurs and Fri either

 

[mrsmom]

Here in cincinnati, schools and the surrounding areas schools have been shut down for two days.
