Fulton County schools will dismiss two hours early on Friday due to the winter weather advisory in effect.

The decision comes following a state of emergency announcement issued by Gov. Nathan Deal that will close state offices early Friday.

Fulton elementary schools will dismiss at 12:20 p.m., high schools at 1:30 p.m., and middle schools at 2:05 p.m. After-school and athletic events on Friday are cancelled, and on Saturday, events before 1 p.m. (including the FCS Science Fair and SAT exams) are cancelled.

School staff and central office employees will dismiss following the release of all students.
