School Closings & Delays

The district uses multiple tools to communicate school closings and delays including:

Automated phone calls and text messages -- By default, the numbers called and messaged are the voice and text numbers listed for the primary account holder in the student's PowerSchool account. To make changes, contact the student's school.
NHSD website
NHSD app
eLink -- The district's e-newsletter
Social Media -- Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
Local TV -- KDKA, WTAE and WPXI (NHSD does not control how quickly information is updated)

The decision to delay or cancel school is one that we take very seriously. We take into account current road and weather conditions, temperature and windchill factors as well as the forecast. In addition, ABC Transit, our bus company, employs safety coordinators who travel throughout our district to report road conditions during times of ice and snow.

Typically, the decision to delay or cancel school is made prior to 5:30 a.m. However, there are occasions that changing road/weather conditions will necessitate a later decision.
