BFCCPS - cancels school for Tuesday, Jan 27, 2026

Dear BFCCPS Community,

BFCCPS - cancels school for Tuesday, Jan 27, 2026

We apologize for the late notice, but BFCCPS has made the decision to cancel school for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27th. This decision follows a significant worsening of weather conditions over the past few hours, during which several districts in our region also announced closures.

Because our students, faculty, and staff travel from multiple communities, closures in neighboring districts indicate that roads in some areas may not be cleared. For safety reasons, we must take these regional conditions into account.

Please note that Capstone Presentations originally scheduled for tomorrow will now take place on Tuesday, February 3rd at 12:00 p.m.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. Please stay safe, BFCCPS, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday.

Heather Zolnowski
