Original Story: A Winter Weather Advisory issued for 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 prompted two local school divisions to issue statements about classes tomorrow. The National Weather Service calls for some snow and ice accumulation late morning through the afternoon. According to Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Karen K. Garza, the school division will actively monitor the weather and will send students home early if necessary. "At this time, we anticipate an on-time start for school tomorrow, March 3, 2015, as we strive to resume our regular academic calendar. However, the National Weather Service is forecasting the possibility of freezing rain or sleet for tomorrow and this could result in an early dismissal of classes or the cancellation of after school and/or evening activities in FCPS schools or on school grounds," she said.
