· Plan A - no school*
· Plan B - school opens at 9:55 am (1st and 2nd period are canceled)
· Plan C - school closes at 13:45
· Plan D - school closes at 3:10 pm (after the 8th period) **
* School will switch to online learning after 5 missed days of classes.
** Plan D has no Montgomery County equivalent and is decided by the Head of School.
