Weather Decision from Arlington County Public Schools for Thursday

Dangerous cold temperatures lead schools to make announcement.

This just in Wednesday — an announcement about Thursday’s schedule for students who attend Arlington County Public Schools:

Because of the weather forecast for extreme low temperatures tonight and in the morning, Arlington Public Schools will open two hours late on Thursday, Jan. 8, and all schools will end at the normal dismissal time.

This again will ensure that students are walking to school or bus stops in the daylight, especially because some neighborhood roads and sidewalks remain icy.
