Child Development Laboratory
Holidays, Inclement Weather Policy and Emergency Closure Information
Holidays: the CDL follows the university calendar, closing for all major holidays and 10 days in December during Winter Break. The CDL also closes for one day in the spring so our teachers may attend a statewide conference. Please check the school year calendar for exact dates.
Inclement Weather Policy: the CDL may close for inclement weather or other emergencies. We follow the Detroit Public Schools decision to close. In the event of a closure, the Merril Palmer Skillman Child Development Lab will post the information on Fox 2 / Channel 4 and their respective websites.
Emergency Closure Information: if it becomes necessary to close while school is in session, we will make every opportunity to contact you or your listed emergency contacts. For the safety of our staff, it is imperative that you make arrangements to have your child picked up within one hour. After that time, late fees / policy will go into effect.
