Are Schools Open? Check Online!

When schools close, be the first to know!
School's Out provides school districts, colleges and private schools with an emergency communications infrastructure.
In the case of emergencies, delays, schedule changes or cancellations, School's Out can send you an email or cell phone text message alert.
School's Out was created in 1996 when a group of concerned parents in Frederick, Maryland were unable to find out information regarding early dismissals during Hurricane Fran. Completely out-of-pocket, this group of parents developed School's Out to help inform parents, students and faculty of any early closings, delays and cancellations in their particular Maryland K-12 school districts.
