School blanketed in snow

Winter is here! This is what you need to know.

How WS/FCS Makes Weather Decisions

  • WS/FCS closely monitors weather and road conditions across the entire county.

  • Remember: even if your neighborhood looks safe, other areas may not be.

  • We aim to give families and staff advanced notice of closure decisions. Whenever possible, we will share information the evening before a closure.

How You’ll Learn About Schedule Changes

  • Changes will be posted on the WS/FCS website, official social media channels, and Cable 2.

  • Families will also receive text messages, robocalls, and emails.

  • Check that your contact information is current in Infinite Campus to ensure you receive notifications.

Banked Days & Remote Learning

  • WS/FCS has built extra "banked" days into the school calendar to accommodate weather-related closures. If schools closes, students should use the time to complete regular homework and read independently.

  • Once the extra time is exhausted, WS/FCS will implement a remote learning plan. Work will be sent home, and individual schools will provide detailed instructions.
