That’s cute. One of the first things asked when we were being told of the hybrid school options was about snow days. Our superintendent said that he’s never seen a town lose power more than my town does (hence why I now have a generator) and he wouldn’t know who had power or who didn’t, so we’ll still have snow days. I will say, that the past 3 storms we’ve had, had very high wind and we didn’t lose power. I maintain it’s because I put a generator in  |

Love this! Unfortunately, the school where I work, the superintendent is determined to not have any snow days. We are fully in person but switch to remote for days with significant expected snowfall. In June, we will probably appreciate it, but right now teachers and kids could use an unexpected day off.
My youngest son’s district is committed to snow days. They’re hybrid or fully remote right now, so it would be an easy switch. The superintendent believes in the importance of snow days. They have only had 1 so far, but will probably have another on Tuesday.

Our district has had both snow days and e-learning days on snow days. When they have e-learning snow days, the kids do some work, but really it is a fraction of what they would have had in class or during a full learning day.

Our district will be doing typical snow days. They felt it was one thing that they could do to make the year feel a little normal. I’d prefer to have a remote day because we started 2 weeks late and I don’t want to be in school forever.

My youngest son's private school is still doing normal snow days, but they've also been in-person 5 days a week all year (and only 5th-8th grade kids have a school-issued laptop that gets taken home every day).
My oldest son's public school doesn't have the luxury of having normal snow days because they thought they could defy state law and thus were out of compliance for the first month to two months of the school year. As of now the younger kids have at least 15 days to make up and the high school kids have over 20 days to make up (despite being in class that entire time...) so they can't afford to miss any more school time. Every student in the district has a school-issued device (ipad or laptop, plus wifi access) because they've been online only or hybrid all year, so it's easy to have a remote learning day.
Under normal circumstances I think snow days should be kept as snow days regardless of access to technology, but this is not a normal year for so many schools that I'm ok with forgoing normal snow days.
