CLNS Inclement Weather Policy

For school closings due to inclement weather, CLNS follows Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). If MCPS is closed due to inclement weather, all CLNS classes will be canceled. To check the status of Montgomery County, go to www.schoolsout.com or check radio or television. CLNS may offer additional days of classes if Montgomery County uses its allotted number of snow days.

If MCPS starts two hours late, CLNS's 2s class will be canceled. Also, if MCPS starts two hours late on Thursday or Friday, the 3s and 4/5s classes will be canceled.

If MCPS starts two hours late on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, the 3s and or 4/5s may have class. The Teacher-Director will determine if there is an adequate adult to student ratio based on the availability of the cooping parents by 7:30 a.m. Assuming there is an adequate ratio, the Teacher-Director will decide whether or not to open school on time or slightly delayed. In either event, the Teacher-Director will activate the Emergency Phone Tree in order to inform all parents about the status of the school opening.
