| You’ll notice that we’ve built in 5 inclement weather days into our calendar. We are OPEN for class on the first three days. If, for some reason, DCP does not have any unplanned closures, these days will be bonus attendance days for our families. If we have more than three unplanned closures, we have two additional make-up days scheduled at the end of May. In the event that DCP has unplanned closures for more than five days during the school year, the DCP Board of Directors will decide how to address any unplanned closures during the school year. |
