Inclement Weather Plan for the 2024-25 School Year
The Fulton County School System (Fulton Schools) has implemented a comprehensive Inclement Weather Plan to ensure the safety and well-being of students, staff, and families during inclement weather events. The plan outlines the district’s procedures for school closures, delayed openings, and early dismissals. It is important for families to familiarize themselves with this plan to make appropriate arrangements in case of inclement weather.
School Closure Decision Process
The decision to close schools is made by the Fulton Schools Superintendent, in consultation with local emergency management officials and the district’s transportation department. Factors considered include the severity of the weather, the impact on road conditions, and the availability of essential services such as electricity and water.
Communication of School Closures
School closures are communicated to families through multiple channels, including the Fulton Schools website, social media platforms, local news outlets, and email or text messages directly to families.
Remote Learning During School Closures
If schools are closed due to inclement weather, remote learning will be implemented for students in grades 3-12. Teachers will provide instructions and assignments through the district’s online learning platform. Families are encouraged to ensure that their students have access to the necessary technology and internet connectivity.
Delayed School Openings
In some cases, schools may open late due to inclement weather. Delayed openings will be announced in advance using the same communication channels as for school closures. Students who cannot safely arrive at school during a delayed opening should remain home until weather conditions improve.
Early School Dismissals
If inclement weather develops during the school day, schools may be dismissed early to ensure the safety of students. Parents are responsible for making arrangements to pick up their children from school if an early dismissal is announced.
Extended School Year
If school days are missed due to inclement weather, the district may extend the school year or implement alternative makeup days to ensure that all required instructional time is provided.

Families are encouraged to regularly check the Fulton Schools website and social media platforms for updates on inclement weather plans and any other school-related announcements.
