Good evening!
Due to the predicted weather conditions DCPS will operate on a virtual learning day tomorrow, Monday, February 23, 2026. Students should follow their school’s schedule. Other staff are required to telework. If that is not possible, contact your supervisor.
Please stay safe!
There is no newsletter today. In the case of a snow day tomorrow, please use this post/email as directions for how CES will be handling the virtual day on Monday, February 23rd. If DCPS does not call for a virtual day we will see everyone tomorrow in person!
If you are unable to log on, please remain calm and complete the packet of work and turn it back in on the first day we are back in person. If your student was not present to receive their device or schoolwork, they will get an opportunity to make up the work.

There is a slight possibility of winter weather this weekend. As a precaution, students are being sent home with their devices and/or paper learning packets tomorrow, Friday, February 20th in the event that school is impacted next week.
Should weather conditions cause a school closure at the start of next week, we will transition to virtual instruction. We hope that the weather will cooperate and that we will see our students in person, bright and early, on Monday.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we prepare for all possibilities.

A full week of learning and growing ahead this week.

Attendance all-stars are students who attend over 90% of the school days in the month.
Families please remember that 2/3 of CES students who miss more than 1.5 days a month are reading below grade level. We must get our students to school on time and ready to learn for them to grow into the best hummingbirds they can be.

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!

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!
Happy Sunday!
Schools are closed, Sneaker Balls, and updated math resources are covered in this newsletter.

⚠️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.

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