While students have been asking all week if they could please, pretty please come to school during a snowstorm, and teachers have echoed this same request through various emails, texts, and call...Dr. Eloi regrets to inform you that all NPSB schools will be closed Monday, January 26, due to inclement winter weather🌨️
Due to anticipated concerns with road conditions, transportation, and potential power issues, this will be a district-wide closure. The safety of our students, staff, and bus drivers is always our top priority, even when they’re begging to come to school😉
Please stay home, stay safe, and enjoy the unexpected time with your family.
We will continue to provide updates via social media and robocalls regarding plans for Tuesday and beyond.
