HOW WE HANDLE WEATHER ISSUES
The decision to open schools on schedule will be made when it is determined that students will be able to travel safely to their school destinations. If weather conditions worsen, negatively affect the learning environment or pose a risk to the health or safety of students, City Schools may announce an Early School Dismissal. If a decision is made to close schools, the Before and After School Programs will also be closed.​

Parents, Guardians and Caregivers may sign up to receive email notification of school closings from WBAL.

• If a decision is made by the CEO or designee to close schools or delay opening, notifications will be posted via these channels:

  • The ParentSquare app

  • Baltimore City Schools website: baltimorecityschools.org.

  • Twitter @BaltCitySchools

  • Local News websites, TV, Radio stations

• If schools close early due to weather emergencies, natural disasters or extreme heat, announcements will be made as outlined above.

• Bus transportation will be provided in these situations. Bear in mind that the bus schedule may become unpredictable or possibly run late.

• Aftercare will be provided at the close of school until 6 pm. If parents wish for their students to use the aftercare provider as a back up on the days when school closes early due to inclement weather then the parents should contact the Program Director at 443-804-4209 to make the arrangements.
