Fort Worth schools to close Thursday and Friday due to winter storm warning
Fort Worth schools are among many districts that will be closed Thursday and Friday because of anticipated winter weather, the district announced Wednesday.
Most after-school activities planned for Wednesday through Friday are also canceled or will be postponed. The one exception is a wrestling camp, which will end at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Students will make up for Thursday’s snow day on May 26. Friday was a planned student holiday and teacher Flex Professional Learning Day for most campuses, so no make-up day is required.
All specialty campuses will also be closed Thursday and Friday, the district said in a news release. Students at Early College High Schools and Intersessional Campuses (Alice Carlson and Jo Kelly) will make up lost days according to the inclement weather days in their respective calendars.
Friday is not a holiday for students and teachers at Marine Creek ECHS, TCC-South ECHS, and TABS. However, these campuses will remain closed to due to inclement weather Friday pending guidance from Tarrant County College.
Most hourly district employees will not report to work unless otherwise directed by their supervisors, and exempt non-teachers will work remotely Thursday and Friday, according to the district.
District campuses and offices are set to reopen next Monday.
