Our 1st Grade, Kindergarten, Kindergarten Enrichment and Preschool programs generally follow Loudoun County public schools policies for closure (holidays, vacations, in-service days and weather-related). Please check the school calendar for specific closings.
Golden Pond School operates as a full-time program. Your paid tuition holds your child’s spot through absences and vacations.
School Closing/Inclement Weather Policy
In addition to holidays, it may be necessary to close the school due to severe weather conditions, disasters, or failures of electrical, water or heating systems.
The Head of School will determine whether and when the school will be closed based on the best available information regarding a specific situation (emergency, weather, etc.) With regard to weather-related closings, our Kindergarten, Kindergarten Enrichment and Preschool programs will follow the Loudoun County public schools schedule.
Golden Pond School will communicate school closing or delayed opening information via a school wide email, local radio and television and by a message on our telephone answering system.
School closing information will also be posted on the WTOP radio website, www.wtopnews.com.
Please read our School Snow Policy for more information on what procedure we follow.
