Washington County Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delayed schedule on Wednesday, January 15, 2025. However, buses will only travel on clear roads. As a reminder, students who live on roads that are snow and/or ice covered will have multiple options:
1. Parents can choose to keep their child at home and the building principal will work with that family to make up assignments and missed instruction. Students who live on these roads and do not attend school will be given a weather-related approved absence and it will not adversely affect their school record.
2. Parents who can safely navigate these roads may take their child directly to school.
3. Parents may also drop their child off at the school closest to their home in the morning. A bus will then transport their child to their school of attendance. Use the car rider line at the school by 9:30 a.m. A staff member will take your child to a designated transfer area. Afternoon pickup will be at the child’s home school.
Again, parents who choose not to send their child to school because of road conditions in their area, will have the support of their principal and the School Division. If you are a parent of a teen driver, we completely understand and support you if you decide not to allow your child to drive to school.

Childcare will be provided at elementary schools for working parents who need it. Be on the lookout for specific details from your child's school.
