Inclement Weather Update

Published January 6, 2011

With winter upon us, now is a good time for parents to make sure their child's school has the correct contact information on file. That information will be used to contact parents anytime school is cancelled due to inclement weather.

The district uses a phone notification system to inform parents of school closings and other important information. Parents will only be called at the main number on file with the school in the morning or evening.

If school is dismissed during the day, parents will receive calls at up to six phone numbers on file with the school. An email address must also be in the school’s database to receive the email notification.

In addition, school closing information will still be available on the Williamson County Schools cable access channels (Comcast 3, Charter 96, AT & T 99) and local radio station WAKM AM 950. School closing information can also be found on the front page of the school district web site, www.wcs.edu, just below the Twitter icon, and many Nashville area television stations will also broadcast school closings and early dismissal information. In order to receive WCS tweets, follow the district at twitter.com/wcsedu.

So far, the district has used one of the 10 inclement weather days built into the 2010-11 calendar. Any additional days missed would be rescheduled.
