SNOW CLOSINGS/HEAT CLOSINGS
(page 8 of the handbook):

In case of inclement weather, the school follows the announcements of the Prince George's County Public School system. If Prince George's County Public Schools are closed for Inservice, announcements will be made on the news regarding Archdiocesan Catholic Schools within Prince George's County.

We are now listed on Schoolsout.com--to subscribe to this service, please visit www.schoolsout.com and apply. You may get free email, or you may choose to be notified by text message on your cell phone for $19.95/year. To get the free email service, please click on www.schoolsout.com and on the right side of the window there is a notice about the free email. To sign up for the email, click on the down arrow to choose our school under Maryland (we are the only St. Joseph School), and then put your email address in the appropriate box, hit "Subscribe me!". There is one more thing to do, and that is to get your verification in your email, reply back and you're done! Be sure to check your email often especially during inclement/emergency times. 

You may instead notify the office and provide a phone number that you may be reached at, and a phone tree will be started. 

AfterCare is not provided if the school closes early in this situation. Contingency plans should be made early enough as to where the student may go until the parent is able to pick them up. The school website or school answering machine will post closings when they are known.

Thank you for your concern and compliance with these matters. It is of utmost importance for your children that they are picked up when there is an early closing.
