Did you miss this morning’s inclement weather message?

ACPS employees can learn the division’s school schedule status during inclement weather in several ways. Here are the two fastest:

• Call the School Schedule Hotline at 434-296-5886 to listen to a prerecorded message about school operations for the day. This recording is updated by 5:30 a.m. every school day.
• Receive an alert through the Electronic School Notification System by phone (landline or cellular) and/or email. This is an opt-in service. Employees can register to receive electronic notifications or edit their contact preferences by using the school division’s web-based update tool (ACPS login required).

Other options exist for checking the division’s school schedule status as well:

• Visit the ACPS website. When we have important announcements to share, such as a school closing or delay, we will activate our web alert system to help communicate school schedule changes. The system uses popup messages to alert website visitors to important information.
• Connect with us on social media. “Follow” us on Twitter, or “Like” us on Facebook.
• Tune in to local media. School schedule changes are broadcast on several local radio and television stations, as well as local media websites.
