Family safety is our greatest concern when there are adverse weather conditions. Northside Christian School has students from a large geographical portion of Central Ohio with many variations in the weather. Students will be excused anytime the school district in which you live is closed. If the school district in your area determines a delay, and you feel that it would be unsafe to drive, you may follow their delay (1 or 2 hours) and be excused for that time missed.
In determining whether to delay (two hours) or close school, we will consider recommendations of highway and safety forces, road conditions, weather forecast, rush hour traffic and what other area schools are doing.
Please have back-up day care and transportation plans at the beginning of the school year.
