All TCSS Schools & Offices on Two-Hour Delay Tuesday, January 27, 2026

TCSS Families, Faculty, & Staff,

Due to the extreme cold, all Tuscaloosa County School System schools and offices will operate on a two-hour delay Tuesday, January 27, 2026. 

Schools will start two hours later than their normal start time. Students should arrive at school two hours later than their normal arrival time, and buses will pick up students two hours later than their regular pick-up time. There will be no early morning extended day programs or before school activities. Breakfast will be served. 

Faculty and staff should also arrive at school two hours later than their normal arrival time, unless they are notified otherwise by their supervisor.

The delayed start time will allow time for us to start buses and address any issues we may encounter in the morning. Families, please make sure students are dressed warmly and adequately prepared for the cold weather.

Schools will dismiss at their regular times, and afterschool activities will operate as regularly scheduled.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing students back in school tomorrow!

TCSS Office of the Superintendent
