🚨 Attention, MWS Families! 🚨 Robotics & STEM Clubs on pause this week! 🤖✨ Plus, League Championship Rescheduled! Check out the updates!


Hey Mount Washington Families! 🌟

Due to our Robotics instructor’s illness and the rescheduled STEM Maryland Science Olympiad Club, our Thursday Robotics and STEM Clubs are canceled for this evening.

What You Need to Know:

Pick-Up: Students in Robotics or STEM Clubs who are parent pick-up, bus riders, or walkers will follow their normal dismissal procedures.

Aftercare: Students in the UEC before-and-aftercare program will also follow their usual routes.

Important Robotics Club Update:

⚙️ VEX IQ Robotics League Rescheduled: Due to inclement weather and ongoing snow removal at the facilities, the League Championship matchup originally scheduled for Saturday, February 7th, is now moved to Saturday, February 14th. The event will take place at the Baltimore City Public Schools Professional Development Center, 2500 East Northern Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21214.

Looking Ahead: We’ll return to our normal Thursday schedule next week.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigate these changes. We truly appreciate our MWS community! 💙🐾

The safety of our students and drivers is our top priority. Routes will be adjusted as needed based on road conditions, and families will be individually notified in the case of any changes.

MTA bus transportation may experience delays as well. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this prolonged period of inclement weather.

🎉 Mount Washington Families — Thank You! 💙🐾
We want to extend a special thank you to everyone for pulling together this week as we navigated inclement weather, school closures, and the transition to virtual learning!

📢 Important Update: We plan to return in-person on Monday, February 2nd.
⚠️ Please be extremely careful driving down Sulgrave Ave for Monday arrival — the hill is very steep and conditions are still being managed. Your safety is our top priority!

If the district makes any last-minute changes to continue virtual learning, we will notify you immediately. But as of right now, we are set to reopen.

Have a safe and restful weekend, and we’ll see you bright and early Monday! 💙🐾

🎉 ¡Familias de Mount Washington — Gracias! 💙🐾
Queremos extender un agradecimiento especial a todas las familias por unirse esta semana mientras enfrentamos el mal clima, los cierres escolares y la transición al aprendizaje virtual.

📢 Actualización Importante: Planeamos regresar en persona el lunes 2 de febrero.
⚠️ Por favor tengan mucho cuidado al bajar por Sulgrave Ave el lunes por la mañana — la colina es muy empinada y las condiciones aún se están manejando. ¡La seguridad de nuestras familias es nuestra prioridad!

Si el distrito realiza algún cambio de último momento para continuar con aprendizaje virtual, se lo comunicaremos de inmediato. Pero por ahora, estamos listos para reabrir.

¡Tengan un fin de semana seguro y nos vemos el lunes! 💙🐾
