Due to the current weather advisory that suggests additional snow during morning travel in addition to what we already have and how that impacts parking lots, sidewalks, and roads, FCPS will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, February 20 on Code Blue/Remote Learning Day. All previously scheduled after school activities are canceled. Students should not report to school but should participate in teacher-planned learning opportunities. Students should work remotely. Some students received at-home learning packets while other students will complete work on Canvas or another online platform. If families have questions, please contact your student’s teacher on ParentSquare. All employees should work from home while essential workers should contact their supervisor for report times. Again, tomorrow, Thursday, February 20 is a remote learning day with all staff working from home. Essential staff should contact their supervisor for report times.

Fredericksburg City Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 14. The forecast suggests below freezing temperatures this evening and into the morning which will make invisible ice a significant possibility tomorrow morning on area roads. Out of an abundance of caution, we will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 14. This will provide us time to reassess, as necessary, in the morning. Again, we apologize for the late notification. Our intent is to give families and staff sufficient notice this evening and not wait until morning to make a decision and notify our community.
