Northwest Allen County Schools Snow Day Predictor

When the call comes

No later than 6:30 a.m.; a closing after a delay by 8:30 a.m.

“On a typical school day, a delay and/or closing will be announced no later than 6:30 a.m. Following a delay, if the need to close should arise, it will be announced no later than 8:30 a.m.”

How families hear

By social media, the district app, email, text message, the district website, local TV and radio.

“Messages will be shared on… The district’s social media accounts: X (@NWAllenSchoolsFW) Facebook Instagram (nwallencountyschools) ParentSquare Email Text App Notification The district’s website at www.nacs.k12.in.us.”

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“Delay schedules are typically two hours in length because a two-hour delay does not disrupt the end of the day schedule and does not create the need for a make-up day.”

eLearning days

Northwest Allen has eLearning days in its winter plan.

“Indiana statute requires 180 days of instruction. To comply with Indiana statute, each school closing will result in a synchronous learning day.”

Making up a lost day

No make up days in the calendar; every closing becomes a synchronous learning day.

“Based on feedback from our families, we no longer have make-up days built into our calendar. Synchronous learning gives us the flexibility to offer school without the need to extend the end of the year with make-up days.”

The 2026 to 2027 calendar

• First day August 5, 2026
• Winter break Dec 21 to Jan 1
• Last day May 21, 2027

The board policy

“If the air temperature, as predicted by NOAA, is expected to be –10 degrees Fahrenheit or colder at 6:30 a.m., then a two-hour delay may be considered in order to ensure that all buses start and do not experience mechanical difficulties.”
