Valdosta City Schools is actively monitoring the storm in collaboration with local emergency agencies. We are awaiting further updates from our local Emergency Management Agency (EMA) before making any decisions regarding school closures. A final update will be shared later this afternoon following national weather briefings. All announcements will be communicated via phone call, text, and email, as well as posted on all school websites and social media platforms.
This is a great time to ensure you're following important local outlets for weather-related updates in our community:
