January 31 and February 1 - All facility use is cancelled Saturday and Sunday to allow crews time to continue clearing walkways, parking lots, and bus loops in preparation for reopening.

Look Ahead for Monday...

Our goal is to open schools and offices on Monday, February 2. We anticipate a two-hour delayed opening (Code Orange).

We will reevaluate conditions and notify the community on Sunday, February 1, by 5:00 p.m. regarding operational status for Monday.

Families are encouraged to use their best judgment if travel conditions are unsafe. We will provide flexibility regarding absences. No student should be penalized because of weather-related challenges in getting to school safely.

If a Two-Hour Delay (Code Orange) Is Confirmed for Monday, Feb.2  

Under Code Orange:

  • Schools and offices will open with a two-hour delay.
  • Emergency personnel must report to work on time and are not eligible for liberal leave.
  • There will be no work-study transportation (students should not report).
  • Vendor-managed care programs will open at 9:00 a.m.
  • There will be no half-day Early Childhood Center (ECC), half-day Special Education, or half-day PreK programs.
  • Programs requiring transportation prior to 12:00 noon will not have transportation, including:
    • Howard B. Owens Science Center
    • JA Finance Park
    • William S. Schmidt Center (Camp Schmidt)
  • All field trips are cancelled.
  • Food Services will offer breakfast.
  • Athletics will resume a normal schedule.

Please continue to monitor email, text alerts, pgcps.org, and PGCPS social media channels for updates.
