<h2 id="snow">Weather & emergency closures</h2>

For snow days, see the [snow day policy](/snow-day-policy) — short version: we follow Lexington Public Schools on day one of a storm, open at 9 AM on delays, and email families by 7 AM. Emergency closures (power outage, water main, that kind of thing) go out by email as soon as we know.
