St. John School follows the inclement weather policy for Carroll County public schools. Inclement weather conditions include snow, ice, tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding. On days when inclement weather conditions warrant, the decision to close schools is made by the superintendent of Carroll County public schools, and announcements will be made no later than 6:30 a.m., if possible. This determination to close schools is made after consultation with the state police, highway departments, and other sources in the county. Information about early dismissal for inclement weather will also use the this procedure.
1 Hour Delay 9:25 AM - 3:00 PM
2 Hour Delay 10:25 AM - 3:00 PM
There will be NO AM Pre-K in the event of a 2 hour delay.
If schools close early due to inclement weather, there will be no PM Pre-K
All Carroll County public schools are air-conditioned. St. John School will make an independent call on closing the school when excessive heat/humidity conditions exist. The official stations for carrying school closing announcements are:
