How Many Snow Days Have You Had This Year??

[slorey]

We have not had any, which is surprising, considering I am in NY! Thankfully all the major snow we have gotten has been on non-school days. I do wish they would have given the kids a break on some of those bitter cold days. I am looking forward to a snow day or 2, since I usually close on snow days as well!

Several of our delays/ cancellations were temperature-related. was -14 yesterday with windchills near -35. brrrrrr

4 closings, 1 delay, 1 close early day. 1 due to snow, the rest are cold/wind chill factors.

Today they advised parents to send kids on the bus in full snow gear because the heaters weren't cutting it and the busses weren't getting warm.

9 snow days for us since January 6th.

Our district used up our last snow day on Jan 24th. As of now we are 3 snow days over what is allowed before making them up.

The district can add anywhere from 10-60 minutes to the end of the school days for the rest of the year to make up for lost time thus reducing/eliminating the need to make up days at the end of the year.

The decision has not been made yet so we shall see.

ETA: All but 1 of the snow days/ice days/freeze days called so far have been warranted. The one that was ridiculous was the bus garage & city commission butting heads.

I like the adding on minutes idea! 9!!! Holy cow!

0 in Montana but we NEVER have snow days. It is snowing right now and life goes on.

They never close for low temps? That is why we are. It's not really the snow, it's the temps in the -20 to -40 with windchill. But, I would imagine you would have that low as well.??

thankfully only 3 I think - we had 2 built into the calendar and now 1 we are making up on presidents day. Any more and we will have to make them up at the end of the year - we already don't get out till June 20something. Today we ended up doing a delayed opening so they didn't lose the day. Hoping for no more snow!!!!!!

My area had several. I closed down for 2 of them.

10 snow days here so far. The snow days I don't mind. Its the blizzard bags I'd like to tell them what to do with. I work 45-55 hours a week. That's not including any clean up or prep time. Or normal housework, meals, homework, basketball practices and games, and so on that I still have to do. My husband helps with these things, but he is disabled and is not always able to. So can someone please tell me when I am supposed to schedule in two more hours for each of my kids to get one of these blizzard bags finished? My kids are young enough that they need help with them. And that's just for one day missed. Would it kill the teachers to work the days they are contracted for??? We get out either the 2nd or 3rd week of May. Making up our days wont even put us near June! I do my job, I wish they would do theirs. I can teach abc's and 1,2,3s but American History is not my strong suit.

Sorry for the rant, but you listen better than the school board. :-)

My kids have had 3, I have had one.

We have had 4 snow days that were because of extreme cold, not snow. All in January. 1 of those, the governor called the whole state. We have had 2, I believe, late starts due to cold/snow. The kids also had of MLK day and the Friday that week for teacher work day. January has been crazy. Hopefully when Febuary rolls around, it's all gone. Well, one can dream anyway.

Surprisingly we have had ZERO! Last year we had 4.

[BumbleBee]

Make that 10 snow days since January 6th. I miss my routine!
