During the winter months, a hot (no pun intended) topic of conversation is snow. As soon as even a dusting of snow is forecast, students (and teachers!) start to lobby for a snow day. Yes, that decision is part of my duties. It is strange that I have to rely on the not-always-right weather forecast to make a decision for Calvert, but that is the way it goes! We typically close less often than other schools or have shorter delays, i.e. we are open one hour late while they are open two hours late. Why? There are several reasons, including the following: 1) we have no student drivers; 2) although our 15 acre campus is spacious, we have a limited area of sidewalks and roadways to clear; 3) once our students are on campus, they can remain inside the Lower School or Middle School building all day without having to go outside. We have dodged several weekend snowstorm bullets this winter, and it appears another weekend storm is on the way! We shall see what happens...
On an unrelated note, the Zoomobile visited Calvert today, which may be a first for us!
