Schools Expected to Open Tuesday -- But for How Long?

Tuesday should start out as an ordinary school day (look for any updates on that here), but the district isn’t making any promises on how the day will end.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for the area until 10 p.m. Tuesday with a layer of snow and ice expected to begin falling on roadways sometime after 9 a.m.

From the FCPS:

At this time, we anticipate an on-time start for school tomorrow as we strive to resume our regular academic calendar. However, the National Weather Service is forecasting the possibility of freezing rain or sleet for tomorrow and this could result in an early dismissal of classes or the cancellation of after school and/or evening activities in FCPS schools or on school grounds.

Please monitor the FCPS website and Facebook and Twitter accounts, plus local media, and expect to receive a Keep in Touch message should we need to dismiss early or cancel after-school events. Thank you for working with us as we continue to cope with this difficult winter weather
