ODCA snow closing number is "1100 in Montgomery
County". You can listen for school closing
and weather updates on KYW 1060 am. This is the only radio station
we call our school updates on. You may also use www.kyw1060.com,
there you will be prompted to enter our school code number.
If your children are bus riders then it is your responsibility
to be aware of what your school district’s busing status
is on a particular snow day. Please note that the bus districts
do NOT make special trips for the private schools when their
district is running on a different schedule. It is a privilege
for us that the public school districts allow the private schools
busing. See below for some examples.
Example
1: ODCA is opened or delayed while some school districts are
closed.
You will need to listen to see if your school district is open
or closed. If your district is closed while ODCA is open then
there will be NO bus transportation to and from school. It will
be your responsibility to transport your children to and from
school.
Example 2: ODCA is opened on schedule
while your bussing district is on a 2 hour delayed schedule.
If you want your children to start the school day on time then
it will be your responsibility to transport them to school.
If you choose to send them on the bus that day that would be
fine, but they will receive an excused tardy for that day.

If you will not be able to pick up your child on time for a
snow day or any other day then you may request to have them
go to Afterschool Care.
It is not possible for the children to wait in the office after
school dismissal time for their ride to come. We have Afterschool
Care so that the children will be supervised while waiting for
their ride to come.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call the
office. We hope these examples help to alleviate any confusion
on snow days.
