*Please do not call the school for weather related closings!*
FCPS tries to make decisions in the evening, taking into account that parents need time to make proper arrangements. But when there is a lot of uncertainty, we wait to get the latest morning forecast. In that case, the superintendent makes the decision of whether to delay or close schools by approximately 4:30 a.m.
FCPS provides information about closings and delays in many ways including:
- Posted to www.fcps.edu.
- Posted to FCPS social media accounts:
- Push notifications sent through the FCPS Mobile App.
- Email and text messages sent to parents (using the parent contact information listed in SIS ParentVUE).
- Email sent to employees (using the employee's FCPS email address).
-
Email sent to News You Choose subscribers of Delayed Openings and School Closings.
- Posted on FCPS cable Channel 21 (Cox Communications, Reston Comcast, and Verizon [channel 11] cable customers only).
- Area radio and television stations.
