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 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.

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!
