The school's policies in case of an emergency, either man-made or caused by natural elements: St. Anselm's Abbey School follows Montgomery County Schools for late opening or for closings. If Montgomery County opens late, regardless of how late, we will start at 9:00 a.m. instead of 8:00 a.m., and if Montgomery County's schools are closed, St. Anselm's is closed.

However, once St. Anselm's is open in the morning, the school does not close early; we remain open. Obviously, any parent may come and take their son home at any time if some incident is pending. We ask that you come into the school office and sign your son out.
