Obion County Schools will make every effort to utilize multiple methods of communication to inform students and families of cancelations and delays. Our top priority when making the determination to cancel, delay, or dismiss early is the safety of our children. Further, we will make every effort to make decisions around inclement weather as early as possible so that our families will be able to make the arrangements needed for child care. We appreciate your support and understanding of the difficulties in making these decisions. Listed below are the resources we use to publicly announce school delays or closings. Please tune to one of these stations to access information about school delays, cancelations, and early dismissals. Radio: WQAK FM105.7; KYTN FM104.9; WCMT FM101.3; WASL FM100.1; WENK AM1240 Television: WPSD Channel 6 Paducah; WBBJ Channel 7 Jackson; KFVS Channel 12 Cape Girardeau Announcements about cancelations, early dismissals, or delays will also be posted on the district’s website:www.obioncountyschools.com and each school’s Facebook page. OCS will also implement an automated phone call through our Parent Notification System.
