Snow Day Policy
How we handle weather closures.
LPC follows Lexington Public Schools (LPS) for weather decisions on the first day of a storm. After that, we make our own call based on conditions and staffing.
- If LPS closes due to snow, LPC closes as well — but only for the first day of the storm.
- If LPS delays opening, LPC opens at 9:00 AM.
- If LPS dismisses early, LPC makes its own plan for the afternoon based on conditions.
- You'll hear from us by email around 7:00 AM for morning-storm decisions. Afternoon updates go out by voicemail and email.
A note on closures
Our approach isn't automatic LPS alignment. Many Lexington families have two working parents and a snow-closed preschool cascades into cancelled meetings and scrambled childcare. We open whenever our teachers can safely get to the building and the classrooms are ready. Most storms we're open.
