Refer to the TCPS website, or you may find school closing information on your local radio and television stations. Weather cancellations of in-person courses will be rescheduled for a later date. If a HYBRID course is impacted by weather, instead of meeting at our classroom at the Easton Family YMCA, the course will proceed on ZOOM.
