Inclement weather during the school year may require a change in school schedules.
Decisions on schedule changes are made after considering information available from many sources.
At all times the goal of the school system is to make decisions with the safety of students in mind.
Avery County Schools has several plans in place to deal with inclement weather. When schools are on a one or two hour delay,
schools will be open to receive children at 7:30. The announcement for changes to the school schedule will be made by 6:00 a.m.
This information will be available through the Avery County Schools web site (http://www.averyschools.net), calling the Avery County
