Fredericksburg City Public Schools

Fredericksburg City Public Schools will extend winter break by one day. This means all buildings will be closed on Monday, January 6. Tuesday, January 7 will be a staff workday. Students will report to school on Wednesday, January 8. Essential personnel will be notified by their supervisor regarding report times. The reason for this decision is the timing of snowfall and possible sleet or freezing rain with regard to our ability to safely address hazardous conditions from parking lots and sidewalks. Safety is always our top priority. We know that anything can change. We will continue to monitor weather, road conditions, as well as parking lots and sidewalks with regard to school opening. We will be in contact with you should we need to further adjust schedules.
