Emergency Closing

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.

Please note that in the case of an emergency closing due to weather conditions, the district will utilize a traditional "snow day" that will be made up at the end of the year. No e-Learning.

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.

Phone and Text: 

  • 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 ParentSquare, our mass notification system.

Email:

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