Fredericksburg City Public Schools will be closed Tuesday, January 7. Buildings will not be open as parking lots and sidewalks are being addressed. Essential personnel will be notified by their supervisor regarding report times. The reason for this decision is hazardous road conditions as well as uncertain weather. We will continue to monitor conditions and communicate any changes with you.
