WELC - 2-hr Delay 12/15/25
Good Morning WELC Families.
You may have seen the district's message this morning that FTCSC will be on a two-hour delay. Below is a review of our polices and what they mean for our WELC families.
WELC will open for care at 8:30am this morning for our full day programs. Half day programming: PM preschool students will not attend today. AM preschool students will attend in the afternoon. WELC AM students will attend 12:45-3:15 and New Bethel AM students will attend 1:00-4:00pm.
Half-Day Programs:
Half-day programs will observe all 2-hour delays and cancellations in accordance with FTCSC. There will be no half-day classes if the school is canceled or if there is an e-learning day. If there is a 2-hour delay, we will only be able to see one group of students during our usual PM class time slot: 12:45-3:15. When a message is sent that school is delayed, it will be indicated if the AM or PM preschool group will attend from 12:45-3:15. This will alternate on any following delay days. *New Bethel PM class time slot: 1:30-4:00*
Full-Day Programs:
When the township delays the start of school or cancels school due to weather, we will still offer childcare to students who attend full-day but will open at 7:30 AM or 8:30 AM, depending if it is a 1-hour or 2-hour delay so long as our staff can safely travel. WELC will close at our typical time of 5:30 pm.

Due to inclement weather, FTCSC will be on a Two-Hour Delay. Below you will find helpful information to guide you.
When does the school bus arrive?
School buses will pick up students two hours later than their regular pickup time.
For example, if your child’s bus typically arrives at 7:00 AM, it will arrive at 9:00 AM on a two-hour delay day.
Does this change my child’s bus stop?
No. Your child’s bus will follow the same route and stop at the same locations, just two hours later.
My child drives to FCHS. When should they leave for school?
Please take a moment to discuss safe driving with your child. Inclement weather often affects road conditions, so encourage them to allow extra travel time, drive slowly, and maintain a safe following distance.
Student drivers should plan to leave two hours later than their normal departure time. For example, if your child typically leaves at 6:40 AM, they should plan to leave at 8:40 AM. That said, due to the weather conditions, we recommend allowing a little extra time and departing at least five minutes earlier than the adjusted time.
Where can I find the Two-Hour Delay School Start Schedule?
Our FTCSC Weather Emergency Procedures website - https://www.ftcsc.org/o/ftcsc/page/weather-emergency-procedures - has the Two-Hour Delay school start schedule.
Does a two-hour delay impact the end of the school day?
No. The school day will end at its regularly scheduled time.
How can families help?
Have a plan for what a two-hour delay looks like in your home.
If your child rides the bus, ensure they understand their day begins two hours later. While the route is the same, the walk to the bus stop will occur at a different time, so keeping track of time is essential.
If you have a student driver, review what it means to drive in inclement weather and how to adjust for changing road conditions.
Thank you for your continued partnership and flexibility as we prioritize safety while maintaining purposeful learning opportunities for our students.
Stay safe and stay warm,
FTCSC

Hello WELC Families,
I hope you have seen that FTCSC has declared an eLearning Day today, 12/2/25. This means K-12 students will not attend in-person school. All half-day preschool classes and Developmental Preschool at WELC are canceled. Please refer to ParentSquare for your Remote Learning Plan.
WELC will have childcare open for students in our infant/toddler program and full-day programs. Please note we will open at 7:30 AM. Breakfast will be served at 7:45 AM. If you plan to drop your child off after 9:00 AM, please email Sarah Puckett at sarah.puckett@ftcsc.org so we can plan accordingly with staffing.
Stay safe and warm,
Nichole Webb and Sarah Puckett

What if my child cannot access the internet?

If you encounter technology issues that will impact the final due date, please reach out to your teacher to discuss alternative options.
If I need technical assistance, what do I do?
