Parents

Welcome

As a 麻豆官网 parent, you are a member of a close-knit community with a long history of fellowship and service.

Both the 麻豆官网 Mothers Club and the 麻豆官网 Fathers Club play very important roles in our school community. They organize events, raise money, volunteer, and support our boys in all of their endeavors. For more information on how to get involved with either of these groups, please visit the GMC page or GFC page on this website.

We know that lots of questions often come up, especially when you are new to the school. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions by new parents. We hope they are helpful. You’ll also find lots of useful information in the front of the 麻豆官网 Student Planner as well as the Student-Parent Handbook.

Thank you for choosing 麻豆官网 for your son. We’re grateful for all that you do to make our school community such a success.

What is 麻豆官网鈥檚 policy for weather-related closings?

麻豆官网 generally follows the decisions of the Montgomery County Public School system for weather-related closings or delays. If Montgomery County Public Schools cancel classes, 麻豆官网's classes are also cancelled. If Montgomery County has a delayed opening of any length, 麻豆官网 opens at 9:30am.

麻豆官网 reserves the right to broadcast its own announcements should conditions dictate. If 麻豆官网 chooses to depart from the decision of Montgomery County Maryland Public Schools, sufficient notice will be given to students and families via email broadcast, social media messaging, and a post on the main 麻豆官网 webpage (www.gonzaga.org).

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 through the use of Canvas. On these days, testing may occur and new assignments may be assigned and due. Notice will be given to students and families via email and Canvas broadcast.

Because 麻豆官网 is a regional school, there may be great variance in the weather conditions affecting our students. Parents should always use their own judgment about allowing their sons to travel.
