Person County Schools will operate on a three‑hour delay tomorrow, Thursday, February 5th. Before school care will open at 8:00 am. Staff are to report at their regular times.
This delay will allow our staff to reassess road conditions early in the morning following any snowfall forecasted this evening. Safety remains our top priority, and the extra time will help us ensure that buses can safely travel their routes. The delayed start will also give our bus drivers the opportunity to identify and navigate any residual snow or icy patches before transporting students.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we take the necessary steps to keep all students and staff safe.
