Due to forecasted inclement weather on Monday afternoon and early evening, Frederick County Public Schools will be closing 3-hours early.

As a result, the Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD) will be dismissing students at 12:00 P.M. on Monday, March 16, 2026.

Staff will be dismissed by their supervisor once all students have departed.

MSD's residence halls are open for those students without access to a daily bus. Students with access to a daily bus will go home at dismissal time.

All after school and evening activities, both school-sponsored and community-sponsored, including athletic practices and games, are canceled or postponed.

Maintenance, housekeeping, student life, dietary, and nursing staff should follow their direct supervisor’s instructions. Twelve-month employees who are eligible to telework may do so from home with their supervisor’s permission, unless leave has been approved.
