When inclement weather causes or makes probable hazardous road conditions, King George County Schools may open late, close early, or close for the entire day. Weather and road conditions are monitored with school board staff and through information obtained through the Virginia Department of Transportation and our local Sheriff's office. The safety of students, families and staff is the priority when weather prompts adjustments or closure of our schools.

Upon return to school, students can return the assignments for teacher feedback.
