December 1, 2025 Staff and Community Update: 2025-2026 BCPS Inclement Weather Plan
Team BCPS—
As we head into the winter months, we want to provide an important reminder regarding our Virtual Inclement Weather Day Plan for the 2025-2026 school year. The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) has given local school systems the option to repurpose inclement weather days as virtual school days. Our plan is to transition to virtual school days after three inclement weather closures.
After three full-day closures, when inclement weather is forecasted, BCPS leadership will monitor the weather forecast and families will be notified if BCPS will transition to virtual learning that day. Students will be reminded to bring devices, chargers, and other instructional materials home. Staff will also be asked to prepare lessons and materials.The second marking period is underway! Here are some important reminders for Team BCPS students and families as we approach the end of the calendar year.
