Oftentimes, the question comes up regarding school closures, especially as we approach winter months. Please know that we do not take any decision lightly. Our goal is always the safety of our students and staff. Our team monitors both weather and road conditions to make the best decision.
School Closing Procedures:
Should it be deemed necessary to close the schools because of weather conditions or other reasons, the decision will be made no later than 6pm the night prior. Notifications will be sent via the following methods:
Local Television (Channels 6, 8, and 12)
Text, Voice, & Email Message by Our Communication Platform
Posting on the NCPS Facebook Page
NCPS Website- www.nottowayschools.org
NCPS APP
If a decision can not be made the evening prior, the announcement will be made prior to 6am. Please know that every effort will be made to make the decision the evening prior. It is important for individuals and families to plan.

It's hard to believe the first quarter has come to an end and report cards have been shared with families. We believe strongly in the power of partnership and open communication—your child’s academic progress is key to their success, and we encourage you to stay actively involved in their learning.
Please note that schools will be closed for students on Monday, November 3rd, and Tuesday, November 4th. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, November 3rd, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. We encourage all families to take this opportunity to meet with teachers and discuss student progress and goals for the second quarter.
Our commitment remains focused on high expectations and accountability for all students. Please remind your child of our continued expectations:
- Cell phones should not be used during instructional time—bell to bell.
- Behavior should promote learning and a positive classroom environment.
- Dress code should be followed daily—no hats, hoods, earbuds, midriffs, or other non-compliant attire should be worn at school.
- Reminder: Students are not permitted to wear costumes to school on Friday, October 31st.
We appreciate your partnership and ongoing support in helping us create a safe, respectful, and engaging environment for all students. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s school.
Thank you for sharing your child with us each day!
We Are Nottoway—Committed to Excellence.
