Inclement Weather Procedures
School Closing Policies
*Please note Sparks Elementary cannot call parents concerning school closings and individual plans for children as there are several hundred students in the school. Emergency closings may also mean, the phone lines are not in service.
When it is decided that schools are to be closed for inclement weather, announcements will be made by local television and radio stations. Students and parents are therefore, asked to please not call the school for this information. These announcements are made for the cancellation of school, as well as for delayed openings and early dismissals.
HEREFORD WEATHER ZONE – Sparks is a Hereford Weather Zone school. In case of inclement weather that would necessitate a delayed opening or early dismissal of school, parents are asked to pay particular attention to radio and TV announcements which might indicate information that would ONLY pertain to Baltimore County Schools in the Hereford Zone.
