(4) Pathshala Inclement Weather Policy: 
As we get further into the winter season, you may be wondering what is the policy for Pathshala during bad weather conditions. JSMW Pathshala will follow Maryland County Community Use of Public Facilities (CUPF) guidelines. Please note, this is a different set of guidelines than Maryland County school closings given our events are held during the weekends. Therefore, if CUPF is open, we will have Pathshala. In cases when the school is open but the weather is bad, we encnourage you to touch base with your teacher to ensure they will be present. The CUPF link is below and we will be having this link available at the top of our JSMW Pathshala webpage.
