WMS Closed Today 6/17/25 Due to Damage from a Downed Tree

The school will remain closed on Tuesday, June 17, out of an abundance of caution due to ongoing debris cleanup following the damage caused by a downed tree over the weekend. Today, a crane was brought in, crews worked to remove the tree, and a structural engineer assessed the building. Three classrooms will need to be closed until repairs are complete; however, ongoing cleanup efforts of loose bricks, roofing materials, etc., cause safety concerns. Therefore, the unfortunate decision to close the building for another day has been made.

We do apologize for this news and the resulting inconvenience. Crews worked diligently throughout the day, but the tree was quite large and the building could not be fully assessed until it had been removed. MCPS facilities and construction teams will be planning for all repairs to fully restore the building as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.
