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.

When do we decide?
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.
Where we announce school closings:
Via phone, email, or text using ParentSquare. All staff, families, and CHS students automatically receive notifications.

Community members, partners, or local organizations who wish to receive these weather-related announcements can join a ParentSquare community group.
