We are on a two our delay. The virtual classes at the Jr/Sr high school can go on as planned. CBC Bowling will be on time. All other bussing is delayed 2hrs.
Due to a COVID exposure involving staff members at the Jr/Sr. High, the Jr/Sr High school will remain with virtual/remote learning from now through February 12th. The first day back for in person learning will be February 16th. This will not impact the elementary school. The ESC unit teachers will be in contact with their classes with details about class.
Northwestern Local Schools are virtual today. Students should use their chrome books to login to their virtual classrooms. My feelings about the roads were right, they are a mess this morning! Have a great virtual day! Go Warriors!
Good Afternoon Northwestern Warriors!
Just an FYI: If the snow continues to fall today and the winds continue to gust through the night, we will have issues with the roads drifting shut tomorrow morning. Possible virtual day tomorrow. We will check the roads in the morning to make sure they are safe to travel.
Go Warriors!

Currently, the roads are in pretty good shape. However, it is snowing and the temperature has dropped to freezing. We will check the roads in the morning to make sure they are still safe to travel. I have a feeling we will be in-person tomorrow. If not, I will call you in the morning.
Good night Warrior Nation!
Happy Friday! You may have noticed that your students brought home their chrome books today. The forecast for Sunday looks very interesting. If we get the winter storm they are predicting, we may have to take Monday as a virtual day. If we decide to have a virtual day on Monday, I will make that decision Sunday night between 7pm and 8pm. I want to give you as much time as possible to prepare.

Ok... We had something come up at the elementary and we need to change our COVID numbers. We have 4 in isolation and 23 in quarantine at the elementary. We are still doing very well, but we did have to quarantine a few students today.
Go Warriors!

Thanks and Go Warriors!
Our current COVID cases in the school are relatively low. COVID cases in the county are back up to nearly 100 new cases per day. The next two weeks are critical for the school. If we can make it through these two weeks, we hope that we will be able to remain with in-person learning for a sustained period of time. School personnel will probably not receive vaccinations on the 1st due to vaccine shortages in the county.
Please watch the weekly update at https://youtu.be/fuh1WA6HIjo
The update covers in-person learning on the 11th, reporting illnesses to the school nurse, and new quarantine guidance.
To ensure that COVID is not spread through athletics, we are pausing all Jr. High and Sr. High Basketball and Cheerleading activities until January 4th. We hope that pausing these activities now will increase the likelihood of continuing these sports in January.
Please watch the video update to learn more about NW Schools going virtual for Jan. 4th-Jan. 8th, attendance expectations on unplanned virtual days, Board meeting to be held virtually, and no holiday band concert.
