Due to extreme cold weather conditions, Shelby County Public Schools will operate on a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day on Wednesday, January 22nd. This is NTI Day #4 for SCPS.
Friday Fun Dress!
Shelby County Public Schools is in service on Tuesday, January 21st. We have had many questions about the cold weather and we want our community to know that student safety is our priority.
During extremely cold weather, Shelby County Public Schools follows the guidance of the National Weather Service when making decisions to protect our students. On October 1st, 2024, the National Weather Service shared the following information:
Cold Weather Advisory: Issued when seasonably cold air temperatures or wind chill values, but not extremely cold conditions, are expected or occurring.
Extreme Cold Watch/Warning:
- Watch: Indicates that dangerously cold air temperatures or wind chill values are possible.
- Warning: Issued when such conditions are imminent or occurring.
If an Extreme Cold Warning is issued, Shelby County Public Schools will close.
Because weather predictions can change from moment to moment, sometimes, the closures may happen on the day of the event. Other issues could also cause the school district to close in cold weather such as buses that will not start.
If your child needs a coat, gloves, or warm clothing, please consult with your school’s Family Resource and Youth Service Center. Also, download the Stopfinder app to get updates on your buses.
If SCPS decides to close, parents, students, and staff are notified through our Thrillshare Mass Notification System via text, phone call, email, and social media. Moreover, we will also send notifications to WLKY, WAVE3, WHAS11, and WDRB.
