Where to find weather-related announcements like delays and school closings

Tis the season for severe weather! We’d like to use this opportunity to tell everyone how FFCS communicates weather-related announcements, be it closings, delays or early dismissals:

  1. There will be a districtwide notification from the school through  ParentSquare.
  2. There will be a post on the school district’s website, right on the homepage at www.fondafultonvilleschools.org.
  3. Announcements will be shared with local TV and radio stations.

Parents should check with their child’s school building office to ensure they have accurate email addresses and phone numbers on file. Parents do not need to sign up for emails, phone notifications. However, School Messenger pulls contact information from the district’s student management system, School Tool, so it’s important to ensure your information is accurate.

In order to make sure you receive emails and emergency notifications, including weather-related school closings and delays, always notify your child’s school if a contact phone number or email address changes.

Contact the school offices if you need to update your contact information:

  • Elementary school main office 518-853-3332 ext. 5001
  • Middle school main office 518-853-4747 ext. 4246
  • High school main office 518-853-3182 ext. 4238

It is best to rely on more than one source of information when it comes to weather-related announcements. This is particularly true in situations that involve power and technology outages. Emergency preparedness agencies have advised that residents have access to a battery-powered radio so that they can receive information if other communication channels are unavailable.
