The New School makes its own decisions regarding weather-related delays and closings. In case of inclement weather, you have several options after 6:00 AM: Check your email for a message from an administrator, telephone the school to listen to the voice message (703-691-3040), look for The New School closing or delay message on WTOP.com or on TV (channels 4, 7 and 8).
If, after school has opened for the day, it becomes necessary to close early, someone from The New School will send an email to parents and/or attempt to contact them via our Alert system.
PLEASE NOTE: In many cases of inclement weather, The New School follows the decision announced by Fairfax County: If they are closed, we are closed; if they open one or two hours late or close early, we often do the same.
