FWISD Cancels Outdoor Activities as Wildfire Smoke Moves In.

Wildfire smoke drifting into the Fort Worth area is changing the school day for Fort Worth ISD students.

The district said smoke from a Parker County wildfire near Weatherford has affected local air quality. AirNow currently lists conditions as moderate, with guidance to consider reducing outdoor activity.

In response, FWISD suspended outdoor activities during the school day Wednesday and canceled all outdoor after-school activities and practices. Activities may continue indoors.

Families of students who normally walk home and have respiratory concerns are encouraged to consider picking them up from campus.

The district will continue monitoring conditions and determine whether outdoor activities can resume as air quality changes.
