At the J, the safety of our members, guests, and staff is our first priority. For that reason, in the event of severe inclement weather, the published hours of operation may have to be modified. The decision to close the facility, delay openings, or close early is based on the weather forecast, current unstable weather, and projected unsafe driving conditions. Because our organization is complex, inclement weather may affect each department and service differently. We endeavor to provide whatever programs and services are possible, given the specific requirements of the program and the effect severe weather can have on the facility, accessibility, and staff availability. To that end, the standard policies for each department are listed below and are subject to change as necessary.
The J reserves the right to make an independent decision about delays or closings based on local weather conditions and other factors. However, as a general rule, if Fairfax County schools are closed, our Adult 55+ programs held at the J are canceled. If schools have a delayed opening, we will hold our programs at regular time.
Basic delayed openings and closings are announced on WTOP: www.WTOP.com or listening to 103.5FM or 820AM (WTOP Radio).
Best Practice: Please call the J’s inclement weather hotline for the most up-to-date information at 703.425.3763 or visit jccnv.org and scroll down to see the scheduling alert. Make sure to check for updates before proceeding to your designated program.
Early Childhood Services:
If Fairfax County Public Schools have a delayed opening, the ECLC (preschool, infant/toddler and extended day programs) opens on time
If Fairfax County Public Schools are closed, the ECLC (FT preschool and infant/toddler) operates from 9am–5pm
- Enrichment Classes run as normal
- Hot lunch program run as normal
Note: We reserve the right to make an independent decision about delays or closings based on local weather conditions and other factors. Should we choose to make an independent decision outside of our normal operation policy you will be notified as soon as possible but no later than 6:30 am. Please make sure to check for the latest updates before proceeding to your designated program at the Pozez JCC.
