Inclement Weather Policy
KINDERGARTEN through 8th Grade:
In case of inclement weather (heat, ice, snow) Saint Timothy follows Fairfax County's announcements of "NO SCHOOL", "DELAYED OPENING", or "EARLY CLOSING". If Fairfax County extends its Monday hours to a full day, we will also. If school is closed or closes early, all after school activities are cancelled. Follow the link below to check the status of school closings. Additionally, Fairfax County will send email alerts regarding delayed openings, closings and early closings to subscribers of their "Keep in Touch" e-mail notification system, also available at the following link.
Fairfax County School Closings Announcements
On the rare occasion when we are scheduled for an 12:00 dismissal and there is cause for an alteration in schedule, the following procedure applies: if Fairfax County announces a one hour delayed opening, we will have school from 9:15 am to 12:00; 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 radio station for instructions on delayed opening, closing and early closing.
