Inclement Weather
St. Joseph School follows Baltimore County for emergency and school closing. Listen to WBAL. If school opening is delayed one hour, the morning session will come in at 9:00 and dismiss at 11:00. The afternoon class will begin at 12:00 and dismiss at 2:35. If there isa 2-hour delay the AM class will enter at 10:00 and dismiss at 11:45, the PM class will begin at 12:45 and dismiss at 2:30. This is different than Baltimore County Schools

Dear Parents & Guardians,
Please carefully read the following changes to the handbook and sign and return the slip below.
Change in the Weather/Emergency Closing or Delay Policy and Procedures
Beginning this school year, Archdiocesan schools will always follow the directives made by their local public school systems when weather or emergencies force a change in schedule. With this in mind, St. Joseph School will follow Baltimore County Public Schools’ lead in all decisions regarding closures, delayed openings or early dismissals.
Effective immediately, families must listen to the general media (television or radio) and follow the plan for the Baltimore County Public Schools regarding closings and delayed openings. No other notification will be sent via the media listing St. Joseph School specifically. No AlertNow notification will be sent for these weather related closings and delays. We will also follow their directive for early dismissal but you will receive notification via AlertNow stating the time we will close and any other pertinent information.
In short, if Baltimore County is closed for weather emergency, we will be closed. St. Joseph School will not be listed separately.
Moving forward, St. Joseph School will announce separately in the media only when Baltimore County Schools have a scheduled day off and we are scheduled to be open. Our website and Facebook page are not venues for emergency notification.
Phyllis Karko, Principal
