School Closing and Snow Day Information
Create your “Snow-Day Plan” Early

Decisions on schedule changes are made after careful study of the best information available from weather services and Charlottesville Public Works. Safety is our first concern.
- 
        
- Morning announcements will be made by 5:30 a.m. whenever possible. Sometimes we can announce a decision the evening before.
 - Early-release decisions will be made by 10:30 a.m. whenever possible.
 
 - 
        
- Via phone, email, or text using ParentSquare. All staff, families, and CHS students automatically receive notifications.
 - CCS homepage: charlottesvilleschools.org.
 - CCS social media: Facebook (Facebook.com/CvilleSchools) and X / Twitter (twitter.com/CvilleSchools)
 - Through local TV and radio stations and their websites.
 
How can community members who are not part of Cville Schools receive announcements of schedule changes?
- Community members, partners, or local organizations who wish to receive weather-related announcements can join a ParentSquare community group.
