🕵️ Hidden Closures (PD & Training Days)

Don’t get caught at the school gates! Watch out for these “Easter Monday” and staff-related closures today:

• Canada: Most schools in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta are closed today, April 6, for Easter Monday.

• US Federal Note: While banks and post offices are open in the US, many individual private schools and some public districts in the Northeast remain closed today as an extension of the holiday weekend.

• Maryland: Check your local portal; several districts have scheduled “Quarter 3 Grading Days” (Staff-only) for early this week.

⛈️ Weather & Facility Watch

• Infrastructure Alert: As ground-thaw continues in the Upper Midwest, watch for localized school closures due to water main breaks—a common “non-weather” closing this time of year.

• Pacific Northwest: Heavy spring rain may cause minor bus delays in Washington and Oregon this morning. No full district closures have been triggered yet.

💡 Parent Logistics Tip: The “Library Savior”

If you are working today but the kids are off for Easter Monday, check your Local Library. Many branches host “Spring Break Maker-Spaces” or Lego Clubs specifically during this week to accommodate the influx of students.

Pro-Tip: If your local YMCA “School’s Out” camp is full, check Local Church Day-Camps. Many religious organizations host “Easter Monday” programs that are open to the community, even if you aren’t a member.
