Dear Parents:
Throughout the winter months, there is an increased possibility of school disruptions due to inclement weather. Nebo School District will be open and functioning normally throughout the winter unless parents and employees are notified otherwise. Even when weather conditions are severe, every effort will be made to keep schools open in the belief that it is in the best interest of the students for Nebo Schools to remain open. The District is concerned about the safety of all students, staff and patrons. We encourage everyone to use caution when traveling to and from our schools and buildings during severe weather.
The decision to cancel or delay the start of school is a very complicated process. Nebo School District is a large district covering over 1,300 square miles. Conditions in one area of the district can be very different from conditions in another part of the district. Weather is unpredictable and can change quickly.
On occasion, weather may be so extreme that the district may close schools or implement a delayed start. In each case, a notice will be sent via phone, text, or email to parents/guardians. If a delayed start is called at your particular school, your school's starting time will be postponed for two hours. However, your school's ending time will remain the same. Although the start time will be delayed two hours, we will work to ensure that the school itself will be open by the regular start time in order to accommodate working parents and students that arrive early.
Unfortunately, experience has taught us that there is no single decision that will accommodate the desires of every patron and employee. That being the case, Nebo District is supportive of individual decisions regarding safe travel during inclement weather. Please evaluate your individual situation regarding travel to school. The option to keep children home when weather conditions are severe is always at the parents' discretion and schools have been asked to respect and honor parent decisions. Make-up schoolwork may be necessary, but schools will accommodate students on the timely completion of required assignments or tests.
For complete information regarding our inclement weather policy or if you have questions regarding the status of your school during inclement weather, please visit our website at www.nebo.edu. We plan to post inclement weather decisions on our site no later than 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the event.
Thank you for your support of our district and your local schools. Working together we can make this a better world for the students of Nebo School District.
