We understand that our decision to delay or close school in bad weather has a big impact on families. We also understand that our students are better served academically and socially by being in school. As always, our top priority is the safety of our students on the bus, walking, or driving to school. 

Our Superintendent, Director of Operations, Assistant Superintendent, and Assistant Director of Operations begin monitoring the weather between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m., and then they drive various routes throughout the district to document the weather.

Weather radar, radio, and TV stations are monitored, and contact with other area superintendents is extremely important in this process to see if weather conditions are different and changing in our county school areas. Once a decision is made, it is relayed to our staff members, FCS families through the Remind platform, our website, and local radio and TV stations.

Although we do our absolute best, we know that often there is no perfect decision. The fact that our high school and middle schools start earlier than our elementary schools makes our decisions extremely difficult when ice or fog are involved. Please use your best judgment if you do not feel that it is safe for your child to attend school.

TWO-HOUR DELAYS

A two-hour delay means that start times for all buildings (except for FCS Preschool, please see below) will be pushed back two hours.

Please view the building start times here.

 

FCS Preschool: For two-hour delays, there is no school for AM students, full-day students will come two hours later than normal, and PM students arrive at normal time.

The FCS Welcome Center is closed whenever there is a weather-related school closing.
