Fredericksburg City Public Schools will be operating on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, January 19, due to adverse weather forecasts. Staff should arrive two hours later than their normal reporting time. We will reassess in the morning and provide an update by 7am if a change is required.
If you see a piece of plywood surrounded by four orange marking sticks at various locations in the City, please do not disturb them. This is actually a method that is used to report snow accumulation to the National Weather Service. These were used during our most recent snow event, and they have been cleared with the anticipation we could see some more snow in the next couple of days. They are placed at four locations throughout the City: Walker Grant Middle School, Dixon Park, Memorial Park, and the Ballfields/ Community Garden across from Wicklow Drive.

Out of an abundance of caution, we believe a two-hour delay is warranted at this time for all students and employees.

In our attendance meetings at W-GMS, we came to the conclusion that some of our attendance issues are due to students' self-esteem surrounding their appearance, specifically hair. With the teamwork of Ms. Cummings , Ms. Frye, Ms. Jones, Ms. Allison and our lovely hostess Ms. Brockenbrough we were able to coordinate a Cosmetology Hair Salon Day! This idea was an incentive for our attendance students to come to school because you just never know what surprises will be in store 😉 Attendance matters, because you matter!

Empowerhouse has partnered with Walker-Grant Middle School! In December, the local organization spoke to the 6-8 grade health classes on the use of technology and relationships, “Digital Connections”. The discussion emphasized the importance of online and internet safety. Topics covered included types of cyberbullying, uses and misuses of social media, forms of abuse that occur both in person and online. Students also learned about how to set boundaries and provide consent. A hotline and contact information for Empowerhouse was provided.
