The Neenah Joint School District provides transportation for approximately 3,000 of its 6,400 students. Under normal circumstances, a decision to close or delay school is predicated on the safe transportation of our children to and from school and will generally be made no later than 6:00 a.m. This will provide time for local radio and television stations to broadcast school closings, allow time for the bus contractor to notify drivers not to report, and allow time for parents to make day care arrangements for children who will be staying home. Safety for children, employees, and parents is the overriding factor in making the decision to close school.
Generally when school is closed, all after-school activities will also be cancelled. When a decision is made to close the Neenah Public Schools, it has been agreed that all private schools being served with transportation in the District will also be closed. It should be noted that in the past there has been some confusion when the announcements have referenced "Lena Schools" rather than the Neenah Schools. The following radio and television stations will be contacted to broadcast any school closing announcements:
Radio stations: WNAM/WOSH/WWWX/WVBO/WPKR; WEMI/WEMY; KFIZ; WTAQ/WNFL/WOZZ/WROE/WZBY/WNCY/WIXX; WHEY/WAPL/WECB/WZOR/WSCO/KISS FM.
Television stations: WBAY-TV 2; WLUK-TV FOX 11; WFRV-TV 5; WGBA-NBC 26.
You may also obtain messages about school closings via the NJSD website district Home Page, find us on Twitter as NeenahSchools, or find us on Facebook as Neenah Joint School District.
