MCPS – Two Hour Delay for Thursday February 6, 2025 Due to Sleet and Ice

Posted on February 5, 2025

Two Hour Delay: Posted on 2/5/2025 at 4:00 PM

CODE YELLOW – DELAYED OPENING Thursday 2/6/2025

Out of an abundance of caution, all MCPS schools and offices will operate on a Code Yellow two-hour delay on Thursday, Feb. 6. The National Weather Service (NOAA) is forecasting sleet and ice accumulation overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning, creating hazardous travel conditions across much of Montgomery County. Our employees commute from many areas, 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.

MCPS teams will be monitoring conditions overnight and working to prepare schools for a safe but delayed opening. However, if ice accumulation is greater than expected, we will reevaluate conditions and provide an update by 6:00 AM.

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 10:00 AM are canceled; appointments scheduled at 10:00 AM or later will continue as planned.
  • Morning PreK/Head Start and AM PreK Special Education programs are canceled.
  • Afternoon PreK/Head Start and PM PreK Special Education programs will begin at their regular time.
  • Schools will dismiss at their normal time.
  • Before school programs and childcare are canceled – and after-school childcare programs may operate as scheduled; families should check with their provider.

Please stay safe and check official MCPS channels for the latest information.

Retraso de dos horas: 2/5/2025, 4:00 PM — Refresque la página para actualizar mensaje

CÓDIGO AMARILLO – APERTURA RETRASADA Jueves 2/6/2025

Por precaución, todas las escuelas y oficinas de MCPS operarán con un retraso de dos horas, Código Amarillo, el jueves 6 de febrero. El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (NOAA, por sus siglas en inglés) pronostica acumulación de aguanieve y hielo durante la noche del miércoles hasta el jueves por la mañana, lo que creará condiciones de viaje peligrosas en gran parte del condado de Montgomery. Nuestros empleados viajan desde muchas áreas, incluso fuera del condado de Montgomery, y los estudiantes viajan por todo el condado para varios programas, lo que hace de su seguridad nuestra máxima prioridad. Reconocemos que tormentas como esta pueden tener diferentes impactos, y algunas áreas experimentan poca o ninguna interrupción. Entendemos la frustración que esto puede causar y agradecemos su paciencia mientras priorizamos el bienestar de toda nuestra comunidad.

Los equipos de MCPS monitorearán las condiciones durante la noche y trabajarán para preparar las escuelas para una apertura segura pero retrasada. Sin embargo, si la acumulación de hielo es mayor de lo esperado, reevaluaremos las condiciones y brindaremos una actualización a las 6:00 a. m.

En este momento, se han implementado los siguientes ajustes de horario:

  • Las escuelas y oficinas abrirán dos horas más tarde.
  • El personal de emergencia se presentará a tiempo y seguirá las pautas para aperturas retrasadas.
  • Las rutas de autobús de la mañana operarán con un retraso de dos horas.
  • Se cancelan todas las excursiones y actividades que comiencen a las 10:30 a. m. o antes, incluidos los programas en la Escuela Secundaria de Tecnología Thomas Edison.
  • Las citas para bebés y niños pequeños programadas antes de las 10:00 a. m. se cancelan; las citas programadas a las 10:00 a. m. o más tarde continuarán según lo planeado.
  • Se cancelan los programas de educación especial PreK/Head Start de la mañana y PreK de la mañana.
  • Los programas de educación especial PreK/Head Start de la tarde y PreK de la tarde comenzarán en su horario habitual.
  • Las escuelas terminarán en su horario habitual.
  • Se cancelan los programas y el cuidado de niños antes de la escuela, y los programas de cuidado de niños después de la escuela pueden funcionar según lo programado; las familias deben consultar con su proveedor.

Manténgase a salvo y consulte los canales oficiales de MCPS para obtener la información más reciente.
