About
Weather Policy
Gonzaga follows the Montgomery County school system’s decisions on school closings. If Montgomery County schools are closed because of inclement weather, Gonzaga will also be closed. If Montgomery County schools have a delayed opening of any length, Gonzaga will follow the "Late Start" bell schedule.
If inclement weather occurs on a day when Montgomery County schools are already scheduled to be out of session, the Headmaster will determine Gonzaga’s status. Because Gonzaga is a regional school, there may be great variance in the weather conditions affecting our students. Gonzaga encourages parents to always use their own judgment about allowing their sons to travel.
In the event of a weather related closure or delayed opening on any day, Gonzaga will communicate in the following ways:
In the event of a weather related closure or delayed opening on any day, Gonzaga will communicate in the following ways:
- Post an update on Gonzaga.org
- Email parents, students, faculty and staff
- Text parents, students, faculty and staff who have subscribed to Gonzaga's emergency texts. If you have any questions about subscribing to these texts, please contact Tracy Dodge, Director of Information Systems at tdodge@gonzaga.org.
On days when access to campus is restricted due to weather related or other emergencies, the Headmaster may call for “Continuity of Learning” (COL) days. On such days, it is the expectation that faculty and students are actively engaged with one another synchronously through the use of Canvas and video conferencing technologies. On these days, testing may occur and new assignments may be assigned and due.
