NO SCHOOL 10/6 & 10/7
HURRICANE MATTHEW STATUS – 10/5/16
Due
to the progression of Hurricane Matthew, Duval County Public Schools is closing
all schools and offices, and cancelling all after-school activities and
extended day care on Thursday, October 6 and Friday, October 7, 2016. In
addition, all after-school activities are cancelled Wednesday. Extended day
will continue until all children are picked up, but we do encourage parents to
pick up their children as soon as possible after school. This decision
is based on current storm projections for Duval County, which indicates the
likelihood of both hurricane and tropical force rain, winds, and flooding
beginning Thursday night and throughout Friday. In addition, key school sites
will be made available and used for shelters as requested by the Duval County
Emergency Operations Center. In order to inform parents and guardians,
automated phone calls and emails will be sent out advising of the latest school
cancellations, and necessary updates will be made to the district’s website at www.duvalschools.org, DCPS mobile app,
Twitter (@DuvalSchools), and Facebook pages. Additionally, we will also
continue to share information and updates with local media outlets. The safety
of our students and community is of paramount importance, and we ask all
residents to Stay Aware and Prepare by taking proper precautions during this
severe weather system. We anticipate all normal school operations and
activities will resume as scheduled on Monday, October 10, 2016. Makeup weather
days will be announced at a later date. For more information regarding city
services, storm updates, and shelters, visit www.jaxready.com,
