Emergency School Closing Information

The decision to close school or to change start or dismissal times because of inclement weather or other unanticipated emergencies will be based upon available information from local law enforcement agencies, weather forecast services, and neighboring school district administrators. If school will be closed, every effort will be made to finalize the school closing decision by 5 a.m. of that school day. Roadway conditions and the possibility of dangerously unsafe temperatures are the main factors that drive the decision.

If one or more of our schools close, or the schedule changes, the District will communicate with parents and staff as soon as possible in the following ways:

Website:

School closing and schedule change information will be posted on our district website at www.nssd112.org, and on each school’s home page.

Telephone: 

• Parents, log into your Infinite Campus account to ensure that your contact information is correct so that you receive any notifications of weather-related schedule changes.

  • The District sends text and phone notifications through Parent Square, our mass notification system. If you want to receive text messages in addition to email messages, and phone calls, update your notification preferences. You must enter your cell phone number to opt into text notifications.

Email:

All parents who have shared their email contact information and given permission will be also be contacted via an email alert.
