Dear Families,
Due to increasing wind speeds in parts of our county, we will dismiss school 1 hour early on Friday, January 12. 2024.
Dear Washington County Families,
We wanted to inform you that we there has been a bus incident in the Patrick Henry area of the division. All students on board have been evaluated by medical personnel and no injuries were sustained. Parents of all students involved have been contacted.
The safety and security of our students and staff is always our first priority.
Good afternoon,
Washington County Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday January 10, 2024. Our WCPS specific Accuweather Forecast gives us reason to believe that we would need to operate on a 2-hour delayed schedule tomorrow. Since a 2-hour early dismissal is already scheduled, adding a 2-hour delay would become a logistical nightmare for students, parents, and staff.
I apologize for interrupting your daily routine with this closure, but hopefully the early notification will provide ample time for parents to make arrangements. We will provide free childcare for working parents who are unable to make arrangements for their children. This service is being provided as a result of goals our School Board adopted last summer. All Elementary and Middle Schools will be open tomorrow to serve students whose parents have to go to work and can’t make other arrangements. Be on the lookout for messaging from your school about specific details, hours of operation, etc.
Again, I apologize for this inconvenience. Please let me know if you have questions, suggestions, or concerns.
Thank you,
Keith Perrigan, Ed.D.
