Â鶹¹ÙÍø
Weather Policy
Â鶹¹ÙÍø follows the Montgomery County school system’s decisions on school closings. If Montgomery County schools are closed because of inclement weather, Â鶹¹ÙÍø will also be closed. If Montgomery County schools have a delayed opening of any length, Â鶹¹ÙÍø will follow the "Late Start" bell schedule.
If inclement weather occurs on a day when Montgomery County schools are already scheduled to be out of session, the Headmaster will determine Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s status. In addition, it's possible that school leaders at Â鶹¹ÙÍø may make a decision to hold classes independent of Montgomery County. An example would be if Montgomery County Schools remain closed for an extended period of time and Â鶹¹ÙÍø determines it's safe to open earlier.
Because Â鶹¹ÙÍø is a regional school, there may be great variance in the weather conditions affecting our students. Â鶹¹ÙÍø encourages parents to always use their own judgment about allowing their sons to travel.
In the event of a weather related closure or delayed opening on any day, Â鶹¹ÙÍø will communicate in the following ways:

On days when access to campus is restricted due to weather related or other emergencies, the Headmaster may call for “Continuity of Learning” (COL) days. On such days, it is the expectation that faculty and students are actively engaged with one another synchronously through the use of Canvas and video conferencing technologies. On these days, testing may occur and new assignments may be assigned and due.
