BCS Inclement Weather Preparations

It's that time of year again. Time to trade in our warm weather gear and prepare for cooler temperatures. We know inclement weather is on the way which could mean early dismissals, delays and cancelations for Berkeley County Schools.

INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS 1-5: The BCS school community will observe 5 snow days. The first 5 snow days missed due to inclement weather will not be made up through the use of the equivalent time option and will not require additional instructional days to be added to the school calendar.

INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS 6-10: On inclement weather days 6-10, BCS will observe remote learning instruction online following a schedule similar to that of a normal school day. Watch for details from your school.

INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS 11+: If schools are closed for more than 10 days, this will require that lost instructional time be made up using other designated dates in the school calendar. Possible days that could be used include Spring Break (April 6-10) or additional days may be added after students last day of May 28, 2026.

We're glad you asked! Once a decision is made, we begin notifying families, staff, and the community through multiple channels, including text, email, media, our website, and app push notifications.

Be sure to review our communication channels so you can stay connected.

TIP: Have a backup plan for your student and family in case schools are closed or dismissed early.
