The National Weather Service is forecasting low clouds and passing showers this morning. As the strong cold front approaches from the west, strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The more potent cells could produce 70-80 mph wind gusts & even a few tornadoes. Monitor weather conditions and seek shelter immediately if a warning is issued.

Looks like we have the potential for some severe weather on Monday, 3-16. Please make sure that any loose items around the outside of your homes are secured. And please, don't take any unnecessary chances. Monitor local radio and TV for any warnings and updates. Be prepared and stay safe!

Due to the potential for severe weather in our area during dismissal, including the strong possibility of tornadoes, all schools and offices will be closed tomorrow, March 16, 2026. All after school activities are cancelled.

Students and staff will engage in asynchronous remote learning, with submission of assignments counting toward attendance. In the event of a power or internet outage, or difficulty with assignments, students and families should communicate with their assigned teacher(s).

Meals will be available, free of charge, from 10 am - 12 pm at Edward E Drew MS (501 Cambridge St, Fredericksburg, VA 22405) and Kate Waller Barrett ES (150 Duffey Dr, Stafford, VA 22556).

This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our students, staff, and families as the top priority.

We recognize that schedule changes can create challenges for families, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize safety during severe weather conditions. The school division will continue to monitor conditions and will share any additional updates as needed. Please stay safe and take precautions if severe weather approaches your area.
