Delays & Closings

 

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and weather that could affect a day of learning is never overlooked.  

A decision to delay or close cannot be made based on forecasts alone. Multiple factors are considered when making a weather-related decision, including:

• Snow and ice accumulation

• Worsening or improving conditions

• Parking lot and sidewalk conditions

• Temperature and wind chill

• Visibility

Because weather reports vary, we gather information from many different sources before making a decision.  

We recognize that a schedule change greatly impacts our FCS families, and we try to announce a delay or closure as soon as possible. In some cases, this decision can be made the night before if conditions warrant. 

Notification of a delay or closure will be made via the Remind platform (instructions below), FCS Facebook & Instagram pages, 13abc, NBC 24, WFIN/WKXA, and WLIO.
