What the Labels Mean for Your Family

Superintendents in North Carolina typically choose one of the following options based on road safety and building conditions:

Status	Impact on Students
Closed (No Remote)	No classes at all; usually implies a “snow day” that may be made up later.
Remote Learning	Students do not report to the building but must log in for virtual instruction.
2-Hour Delay	Buses run 2 hours later than normal. Schools often cancel morning-only preschool sessions.
Early Dismissal	Classes end several hours early to ensure buses can return students home before weather worsens.

How the Decision is Made

Decisions regarding the Piedmont Triad schools are often made between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM. Transportation directors for districts like Guilford and Forsyth counties personally drive “test routes” on secondary roads and bridges to check for black ice. If they determine the roads are unsafe for high-profile school buses, they notify FOX8 immediately.
