Although spring is almost here, history has showed us we may still get some snow. To receive alerts on closings, delays and dismissals from NASD, make sure your contact telephone number is up to date. Also, all information is announced on radio stations, televised on local news channels and is on the WFMZ Storm Center.

In the event of a two-hour delay, students may not be dropped off before 10:35 a.m. since school personnel also have a two-hour change in report times. In the event of an early dismissal, NASD asks parents/guardians who pick up students to report to the school by the modified dismissal time.

Be sure to visit the district’s website regularly for updates and special announcements. There are many helpful forms and important links for students and parents.
