❄️ Remote Learning – Friday, January 30 ❄️
5-for-5 is great… when you’re at the plate.
This week? Not so much.
It’s been a long and chilly week, and we know everyone is ready for clearer roads and more familiar routines. We truly miss seeing our students in our classrooms and hallways!
Due to ice still covering roadways in parts of the county, KCS will continue with remote learning tomorrow, Friday January 30th. Students have offline work available, with assignments also accessible in Schoology. If power or internet is an issue, work can be completed and turned in later.
Here’s hoping the ice gives us a break this weekend so we can welcome everyone back on Monday. Stay warm and safe, KCS families 💙

🚨 Weather Update – Two-Hour Delay, Tuesday, December 16th🚨
Kanawha County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, 12/16.
⏰ Schools will start two hours later than normal
🚌 Buses will run two hours later than normal
Road conditions vary across the county. Some roads have been cleared, while others have not been thoroughly treated. Because of this, bus route changes may be necessary, so families should continue to check transportation messages for updates.
Employees should report at their normal time if they are safely able to do so. If travel is unsafe, please notify your immediate supervisor.
If you cannot safely get your student to the bus stop or to school, please don’t take any chances. Contact your school to report the absence and to arrange makeup work.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these weather conditions together. ❄️

Due to road conditions in many of our attendance areas and temperatures that are not expected to warm enough to improve travel, Kanawha County Schools will be closed on Monday, December 15.
This will be a true snow day, with no virtual learning.
Staff Information:
• All school-based staff do not report to work
• 261 employees report as normal
• If you are unable to safely get to work on time, please notify your immediate supervisor
We are sharing this decision now because temperatures will not rise enough during a two-hour delay window for meaningful road improvements.

❄️ KCS Weather Update – True Snow Day — 12/9/25 ❄️
Due to winter weather and expected road conditions, all Kanawha County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, December 9th.
This will be a true snow day, no virtual learning. While the snow is expected to end at some point this evening, temperatures are not forecasted to rise above freezing until at least midday Tuesday. That means road conditions are not likely to improve in time for a safe morning start, so a two-hour delay would not be helpful.
👉 Reminder: Wednesday, December 10th is a scheduled PL day, so there will be no school for students on Wednesday either.
Thank you for your understanding and for working with us as we prioritize student safety.
