In response to severe weather or other emergency situations, school officials may find it necessary to close district schools, open schools late or dismiss students early.  

Please note that decisions concerning school closings are made based on conditions across all of Fauquier County. While conditions may appear safe in one area, conditions may not be safe in another area of the county. Decisions about school closings, delayed openings or early dismissals are based on the best available information concerning conditions throughout Fauquier County.

Please consult the website and area media outlets for the latest information on school closings and early dismissals. Parents and students are urged not to call schools, administrative offices or radio stations as it is essential that these telephone lines be kept open for communication to schools and media outlets.

No announcements will be made when schools are open and operating on a normal schedule. 

Make-up Days are scheduled as specified by the Code of Virginia. CLICK HERE for a complete explanation.
