In the event that The GreenMount School must delay opening, close school or cancel classes for any reason, an announcement will be made on WBAL TV. Look for “GreenMount School.” You can also sign up for email notification of school closings or delays at WBAL TV and receive immediate emails and or texts when school is closed due to weather or an emergency.

Friday or any other “half day” inclement weather procedure: If there is a one-hour delay, GMS will open at 9:15 AM and dismiss at 12 PM. If there is a two-hour delay, GMS will open at 10:15 AM and dismiss at 2:15 PM.

In the event that the school closes early, every effort will be made to contact the parent or guardian. If no contact can be made, your "emergency person" (supplied by the parent on the child's medical form) will be contacted. No children will be left unattended. In the case of early dismissal there will be no After Care.

In the event The GreenMount School must cancel classes or delay opening for reasons specific to GMS, our immediate surroundings, our building, or our utilities, i.e., water or electricity issues, an announcement will be made on WBAL TV.

In order to keep up with the new cleanliness policy - enacted at the start of the 03-04 school year - we have adopted a new lunch policy. Please send you child to school with entirely disposable lunches in paper bags OR a lunchbox. Lunchboxes will need to be taken home each and every day. Any lunchbox left at 6:00 will be thrown away. This policy has made a big difference in the school cleanliness.

Students will not be allowed to participate in field trips unless a signed permission slip form is returned to the school before the trip. Phone calls and hand written notes are not acceptable. Permissions slips (most) can be found on the online calendar.

If your physician/dentist/nurse practitioner deems it necessary for your child to receive a medication during the school day, the approval and specific directions must be provided to the school. Please fill out the form, have it signed by your child's physician. If your child requires more than one medication, a seperate form must be filled out for each medication. You will find all of the information on the Medication Order Form.
