PWCS Menu and Options
  • Inclement Weather

    As the weeks and months get colder, please take a moment to review the inclement weather polices. PWCS and Forest Park will continue to send updates on inclement weather decisions. Additional information can be found at PWCS Weather Cancelations page.
    Please note that the daily schedule rotation will NOT be bumped as a result of a Code Red/Green/Orange. What this means is that if the Code Orange Day was scheduled to be a 1,3,5,7 day, the next day schedule will be 1, 3, 5, 7.
    Please monitor our website as we will post this on our front page.
    If your child is registered virtually with Virtual Virginia, please follow the guidance provided by Virtual Virginia for inclement weather guidance. Virtual Virginia is not a PWCS program.
    Forest Park’s administrative team will monitor this plan and make changes as deemed necessary as we move forward with Code Orange days. You can always contact us if you have questions.

This learning opportunity is for students to complete work previously assigned and/or to receive support from their teacher during posted office hours. New content will not be introduced on these days and no tests can be given.
