After two years of sweet anticipation followed by utter disappointment, our school has finally changed it's Snow Policy so that we no longer follow DCPS. In the past, we would only close for inclement weather if DCPS closed. So, despite the fact that our school's street doesn't get plowed and is at the bottom of a little hill, we would never get the sweet benefit of a snow day. And as you know, I love a snow day.
Unfortunately for me, it is common knowledge that DCPS never closes -- not to be confused with the private schools in DC which close for scary clouds. Chancellor Rhee even came out and said that DCPS would not close for inclement weather. When President Obama falsely accused and ridiculed DC schools for closing for a half inch of snow (just because his daughters' school closed), I figured it was the final nail in the Snow Day coffin.
Well...last week The Powers That Be decided to finally separate us from our Snow Day shackles. Our public charter school decided to separate itself from DCPS when it comes to inclement weather closings -- hooray for children not falling on our perilous hill! Hooray for staff members not coming to school with harrowing tales about their near accidents! Hooray for Snow Days!
