Inclement Weather Policy:

In case of inclement weather (heat, ice, snow) Saint Timothy follows Fairfax County’s announcements of “NO SCHOOL , “DELAYED OPENING”, or “EARLY CLOSING”.  Notification is available online or via email at: Fairfax County School Closings Announcements .  If there is a two-hour delayed opening, the morning session will have school from 10:15 - 12:15 and the afternoon session will have school from 1:15 - 3:15.If there is a two-hour delayed opening on a Monday and Fairfax County extends the school day to a full day, the morning session will have school from 10:15 - 12:15 and the afternoon session will have school from 1:15 - 3:15.

Special Circumstances: On the rare occasion when we are scheduled for an 11:30 a.m. dismissal and there is cause for an alteration in schedule, the following procedure applies: if Fairfax County announces a one hour delayed opening, the classes scheduled to attend will have school from 9:15 am to 11:30 am; if Fairfax County announces a two hour delayed opening we will not have school.  If Fairfax County schools are having a scheduled holiday, and we are not, please check our web site and WMAL AM 630 radio station for instructions on delayed opening, closing and early closing.  If you are unable to obtain accurate information, please find a friend, etc. who will be able to contact you. We cannot contact individual parents.

As there is minimal time between the preschool sessions we ask that you be prompt and expedient as you pick up your child.  If there is a need to come into the school building, we ask that you park your car in the church parking lot rather than go through the car pool line.  We do expect all students to be well behaved and respectful while at school, including during the carpool procedures.
