2007-2008 inclement weather policy
Greenridge Baptist Child Development Center will be closed for inclement weather when the Montgomery County Public Schools are closed. Listen to WTOP (1500 AM, 107.7 FM), Montgomery County channel on cable tv, or any other TV or radio station announcing inclement weather closings for the school closing announcement beginning at 6:00 a.m. Parents may visit schoolsout.com to check the status of school openings. Greenridge Baptist CDC will not be mentioned specifically. You may also call Greenridge Baptist CDC at 301-972-5151 a message will be left on our voice mail regarding the closing.
If the schools delay their opening, we will also delay our opening for the same amount of time (i.e. one hour delay: 8:00 a.m.). Prior to bringing children to the program site, parents may wish to contact the CDC to be certain staff is present.
If there is a heavy storm during the course of the day, we may close early, at the Director's discretion, and parents will be contacted. If we cannot reach you, we will call your emergency contact person, so please be sure this information is up to date.
Each year parents inquire about the snow policy. The CDC Advisory Team has discussed this policy each year as well. We believe that the superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools is much more informed than any one of us could be concerning the safety of transporting children. The superintendent uses information from the highway department, the department of public works, and the bus company to come to a decision about the closing of schools. The safety of children, staff and families is always the most important concern.
Extended Closings: When schools are closed more than one day as a result of inclement weather, the CDC may re-open providing:
• The driveway, parking lot and sidewalks are clear; and
• The snow emergency plan has been lifted.
In the event that the CDC is closed in excess of two consecutive days due to inclement weather, tuition will be pro-rated for that particular week. However, if the CDC opens late or closes early due to inclement weather, full tuition will be charged for that day. We suggest that each family make a plan now for snow days. We encourage families to pool care or work together to provide for snow closings or emergencies. Please do not wait until the last minute and arrive at a locked door.
