*This program is for parents. Classroom will be in use and there is no child care available.
This calendar provides for 2 teacher work days. This calendar also provides for 2 extra days of instruction. These days will be used as inclement weather days, if necessary. In the event we do not use these days, we will consider ending the year earlier than scheduled.
For inclement weather: if Lancaster Public schools are closed, then LMS will be closed. Parents must rely on their own judgment, if you believe roads to be unsafe, then you should make the decision to keep your children home even if LMS is open.
   

Calendar Notes:

1.  Please note that ASC is not available on early dismissal days.

2.  In the event of bad weather, listen for announcements regarding GMS closings on WXGM radio, WAVY TV 10 and WTKR TV 3 or check schools-out.com.  You can find the link on gloucestermontessori.org.   We do not follow Gloucester County’s decisions regarding school closings.

3.  This calendar contains two weather make-up days. If we do not use these days, the school year may end earlier than June 12.
