We want to thank our NCPS crew, VDOT, and all other agencies and organizations that worked hard to get our campuses, roads, and turnarounds ready for the return of staff and students.

To provide some extra time in the morning for safe travel with light and warming temperatures, NCPS will operate on CODE 2 - 2-HOUR DELAY for MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 2025. Students who use NCPS transportation by car or van should meet the driver at the end of their driveway to assist with pick-up. We will continue to evaluate road conditions in the morning to see if any change in school status needs to be made. We appreciate your patience as NCPS and local agencies worked hard to get our campuses and roads safe to travel for the return to school from Winter Break. We cannot wait to welcome all of our staff and students back. We will distribute Report Cards to students tomorrow. #OneNelson

Despite the efforts of our NCPS staff and local agencies working hard on the roads, the continued freezing temperatures have not resulted in roads improving or the clearing of backroads and turnaround points for our drivers. Additionally, there is a Winter Weather Advisory for areas that will impact many of our staff and their travel for tomorrow afternoon. Therefore, for the safety of our students and staff, NCPS will operate on a Code 3 for FRIDAY JANUARY 10, 2025, which means that schools are CLOSED for students. All NCPS activities scheduled for tomorrow are canceled. Thank you for your continued support as we work to keep students, staff, and community safe. Have a great evening. Stay safe and warm! As always, #OneNelson

Although our crews and many local agencies have been working hard to prepare our campuses and bus routes for the return to school, we still have secondary and backroads with bus turnarounds throughout the county that are covered and frozen, making it difficult to travel. The temperatures will also continue to be well below freezing. As such, Thursday, January 9, will operate as a Code 3, which means that schools are CLOSED for students. All NCPS activities scheduled for tomorrow are canceled, except for the January 9, 2025, School Board Meeting, which will be held at 6:00 PM at the Courthouse. We are closely monitoring the weather and road conditions. On Thursday, we will provide any necessary school status updates for Friday. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep our students safe. Have a great evening. Stay safe and warm. #OneNelson

Due to the lingering impact of the winter storm on roads, particularly secondary roads, and the well-below-freezing temperatures this evening and in the morning, we will establish Wednesday, January 8, as a Code 3, which means that schools are closed for students.
