Be Prepared for Weather Cancellations
With the arrival of winter, please make certain that arrangements have been made for your children in the event that inclement weather causes a change in the school schedule (i.e. school closed, school opening two hours late, or school closing two hours early). FCPS will make its decision based on the safety of students and staff, following consultation with numerous weather and safety agencies. Due to the speed of updating, the official @FCPSnews Twitter account is generally the first and fastest mode of communication. Other communication channels will be updated as quickly as possible including email, text, website, other social media, and news stations. For additional information on FCPS' weather cancellation procedures click here.
Cold Weather & Recess
During cold spells, students at Hollin Meadows will have outdoor recess. Parents should send their children to school prepared to play outdoors (jackets, gloves, and hats). The only exceptions will be if is raining, there is snow & ice on the ground or the National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory/warning. If you need assistance with getting a jacket, please contact guidance counselor Deb Storck or school social worker Marsi Beschel.
