# Snow Day Policy

**Watch your email by 7:00 AM** on storm mornings — that's where the call goes out. For afternoon-storm decisions, watch voicemail and email.

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.

Questions on a storm morning? Call the office at [781.862.5485](tel:7818625485).

> **A note on closures.** After the first day of a storm, we don't automatically follow LPS. Families count on us, so if our teachers can safely get to the building and the classrooms are ready, we open. Most storms, we're open.
