PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) — Students, faculty and staff at Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) can expect a little more time in the classroom due to recent snow days that have prompted closures.

PGCPS said it has closed schools for four days so far this year due to bad weather. These four days will be made up in February and June.

Make-up day 1: 14 Feb — This day was originally planned as a professional day for the teachers, but will now be a make-up day.

Make-up days 2-4: 16-18 June — These three make-up days are built into the school calendar at the end of the school year.

Make-up day 5 (if necessary): 17 March — If a fifth make-up day is needed, March 17 will be converted into an instruction day.

Should more snow hit the region or future inclement weather exceed the five days, additional school days may need to be scheduled at the end of the school year.
