Team Chesterfield families,
We have continued to monitor the path of Tropical Cyclone Zeta. We are concerned about the existing wind advisory between noon and 4 p.m., and prospects of wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph while school buses are on the road during normal dismissal times.
Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of students and staff, Chesterfield County Public Schools will have a three-hour early dismissal today for ALL Chesterfield County schools.
All students, whether learning in-person or virtually, will finish three hours early. This includes middle and high schools, so that staff working at those school sites are able to make it home safely before projected wind gusts hit their peak.
Elementary school buses should arrive at bus stops this afternoon three hours earlier than scheduled. Please make sure your family has made proper arrangements to be at the bus stop to pick up our youngest learners.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue to navigate a wild 2020!
