Escambia County Schools Families and Staff,
Out of an abundance of caution and based on forecasts indicating the potential for severe weather impacts across our area, all Escambia County Schools will be closed on Friday, October 9, 2026.
The safety of our students, employees, and families remains our highest priority. District officials will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and work with local emergency management officials to assess any additional impacts.
All school activities, athletic events, extracurricular activities, and after-school programs scheduled for Friday are canceled. As previously communicated, athletic contests have been moved to Thursday, and no extracurricular activities will be held this weekend due to the anticipated weather.
We encourage all families and staff to remain weather aware and follow guidance from local emergency management and public safety officials.
Any additional updates will be communicated through our district website, social media channels, SchoolStatus notifications, and local media outlets.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep everyone safe.
We also want to remind families that Monday, October 12 and Tuesday, October 13, are scheduled fall break days. Students will return to school on Wednesday, October 14.
We know changes to the school schedule can require families to make adjustments, and we appreciate your understanding as we make decisions based on the safety of our school community.
