Weather Ready Update January 2026

January 22, 2026

The message below was shared with families on Saturday, January 24, 2026, through ParentSquare.

All CMCSS schools and District offices will be closed Monday, January 26, and Tuesday, January 27. All after-school activities, athletics, and practices are canceled through Tuesday. The School Board meeting will be rescheduled for Thursday, and details will be posted online soon. If mission-essential employees need to report to work, their supervisors will contact them.

The Operations Department and CMCSS leadership will continue to monitor the conditions as the Winter Storm moves through Clarksville-Montgomery County. Governor Lee has declared a State of Emergency, and authorities are encouraging everyone to exercise extreme caution and avoid nonessential travel. The continued frozen precipitation over the next 24 hours and frigid temperatures next week could make clearing roads and campuses more difficult for crews. We will notify families ASAP about the status of school for the remainder of the week. Please have plans in place in case there is an extended closure.

Thank you to our Operations team, first responders, utilities and road crews, and all mission-essential personnel in the community who are working to keep our community running and safe! Stay tuned to local news and guidance from local agencies. Please stay safe and warm!

Our region is on high alert for the threat of a significant winter storm this weekend. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for our area this weekend. We want to ensure all families have emergency plans and stay tuned to local news and weather over the next few days. Please review this winter weather safety information from the National Weather Service.

We will continue to keep families updated as the winter weather system moves through our community this weekend. As always, we ask families to please have plans in place in case conditions require closures, delays, or early dismissals. CMCSS will communicate with families via ParentSquare. The district will also share inclement weather closure updates on official CMCSS social media accounts, cmcss.net, and local media. Please ensure that you check your sources when viewing school closure information on social media. For official CMCSS social media, follow us @cmcssinfo on Facebook and Instagram.

In 2019, CMCSS was named a StormReady district by the National Weather Service, and this past February, CMCSS earned recertification through 2029. To receive this distinction, CMCSS:

  • Established a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center.
  • Established more than one way to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public.
  • Created a system that monitors weather conditions locally.
  • Developed a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises.

Please stay weather alert, families! With the bitter cold forecast for the weekend through next week and the possibility of ice or snow causing power disruptions, please have preparations in place to protect people, pets, pipes, and plants.
