In the event that an emergency arises making it impossible to open school, announcements will be made through the media as soon as possible.
Should hazardous weather or conditions within a school building develop during the day that would require closing school before the regular dismissal time, it is essential that each pupil know what he/she is to do and where he/she is to go.
It will be impossible to contact all parents before releasing the children on such emergency occasions. To prevent confusion, parents are urged to make necessary arrangements for their children. The parents will fill out a form, prepared by the principal, and return to the student's teacher noting arrangements that have been made.
Unless employees are notified that their work schedule is changed because of adverse weather or emergency conditions, it is expected that all employees will work according to the terms of their contract.
Types of Closing & Accompanying Procedures
All schools will be closed for the day. Media contacts will be notified before 6:00 am, subsequently announcing, "ALL FLOYD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED TODAY."
All Day or Closing of a Single School or Small Group of Schools
The superintendent or designee must approve the closing of an individual school or special group of schools that may be necessitated due to lack of heat, or some other local emergency condition. Media contacts will be notified as soon as a decision is reached.
When schools will be dismissed prior to regular schedule, the exact time of dismissal will be released to media contacts, school principals and facilities managers.
The INSTANT ALERT system will deliver a message to the primary phone number of each parent and staff member. You may add additional numbers, text devices and e-mail addresses as needed by going to ParentInstructionSheetFCPS.pdf
