When snow or other severe weather conditions occur, it will sometimes be necessary to cancel school, delay the opening of school, or dismiss classes early. The Wilkes County Schools Central Office will make an announcement of cancellations, delays, or dismissals as soon as a decision is made through the School Messenger System. This news is also sent to local radio and television stations as well as Wilkes County School’s website and social media pages. If no announcement is made, school will open or dismiss as usual. Please do not call the school for information since telephone lines must be kept open for emergencies and other public service announcements when the weather is bad. To avoid disruptions in your schedule, please complete the student inclement weather plan and make plans early in the year for your child care arrangements. It is very important to keep this plan up to date. If circumstances change, please let the school know of these changes.
