Special Inclement Weather Notice
Please be aware that the current Inclement Weather Policy for the Chesapeake Bay Governor's School (CBGS) is under review to determine if revisions are needed. If revisions are made to the current policy, a revised Inclement Weather Policy will be disseminated to students, parents, and the 14 participating school divisions.
While the current policy is under revision, please review the following procedures for inclement weather.
1. Students and parents are reminded to sign up for instant alerts for Rappahannock Community College (RCC) or Caroline County Public Schools, if you have not already done so. (As stated in the current policy, the closing of CBGS is determined by RCC for students who attend the Glenns and Warsaw campus; and by Caroline County Public Schools for students who attend the Bowling Green site.)
2. There are times when CBGS may need to close for inclement weather, even though RCC is open. When this happens, the decision to close CBGS is based on the school-closing status among the 14 participating school divisions. An announcement about the closing of CBGS will be made on these radio and television stations (click on the link).
3. At this time, procedures for a delayed opening of either RCC or Caroline County will remain as stated in current policy.
4. If a school division is closed due to inclement weather and CBGS is open, students from the closed school division are not expected to attend CBGS on that day. The student will not be penalized for the absence and work missed during class will be posted on the CBGS teachers' web pages and provided in class on the day that the student returns to CBGS.
Questions about inclement weather may be sent to dpollard@cbgs.k12.va.us
