As the winter quickly approaches, we'd like to give you a quick reminder on our inclement weather. The DC Collaborative will cancel a field trip due to inclement weather if:

• If attending school cancels or operates on a delay.
• If the museum or host venue closes or operates on a delay.
• The bus company indicates that the roads are unsafe for travel. The DC Collaborative staff will contact the bus companies in the morning to check the safety of the road. If the company reports back that the road are unsafe, the Collaborative will cancel the field trip.

If a DC Collaborative field trip is cancelled due to inclement weather, the Collaborative will do our best to reschedule depending upon the availbility of the field trip provider and the school.
