There is a slight chance of winter weather this evening, so just in case it impacts school tomorrow, students are being sent home today with their devices and/or paper learning packets.
If weather does cause a school closure, we will move to virtual instruction for the day. This is simply a precaution—we’re hoping Mother Nature cooperates and that we’ll see our students bright and early on Wednesday!
Thank you for helping us be prepared (and fingers crossed we won’t need it 🤞).

Due to patchy ice on backroads, Dorchester County Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, February 2, 2026. Please be safe!







Their hard work and positive attitudes make our school a better place every day. Congratulations to these amazing students — keep shining and inspiring others!

Hello DCPS families and staff—this is a quick update from Winter Weather Headquarters ❄️
After Monday and Tuesday’s snow days, we’ve officially used all the snow days in our calendar. That means Wednesday, January 28, 2026, will be a virtual learning day for students.
Students should either log in for virtual learning, or—if your family requested a paper packet—work on the packet that was sent home last Friday.
Schools shared virtual learning details last week, so families should already have schedules and login information. If you need a refresher, please check your school’s messages.
Just a reminder that Thursday and Friday are professional development and semester transition days, so students will not be in session. Staff will participate in virtual professional development and should check their email for details.
Thanks for your flexibility—stay warm, and we’ll see our students online tomorrow!

Due to the poor weather conditions, Dorchester County Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026. All schools and offices will be closed. Please be safe!



Good Afternoon!

⚠️Winter Weather Update from DCPS⚠️
A winter storm may impact our area this weekend (Jan 24-25, 2026). DCPS plans to open on a regular schedule on Monday, January 26, but we will monitor conditions closely and keep you informed of any changes.
❄️School Schedule - DCPS is scheduled to open for a normal school day on Monday, January 26.
❄️Weather Monitoring - If the storm moves in this weekend, we may need to close schools. Weather-related updates will be provided through the DCPS app, social media platforms, email, phone system, and website.
❄️Snow Days - DCPS has 2 more snow days built into our 2025-2026 school calendar. Maryland law requires us to use all built-in snow days before considering virtual instruction.

❄️Preparation - Students with device agreements will bring devices home Friday; all other students and students in PK and K will receive paper assignments.
