NOTE: High Road Academy follows the inclement weather decisions made by the Howard County Public School System. However, in the event that there is a discrepancy between late opening, early dismissal, or closing times, the sending school system will err on the side of the more restrictive decision. For example, if Montgomery County Schools close due to bad weather while Howard County has decided to open on a two hour delay, then Montgomery County students would not be transported even though High Road will be opening on a two hour delay. Parents may choose to transport students to and from school on these days, if they choose. Students will not be marked as absent if this situation occurs. In the event of any calendar discrepancies between Howard County Schools and High Road Academy, notification will be sent home with the students.
