FPS K-4 Elementary Student Handbook 2026-2027: Closing School

2 built in snow days

On the 2026 to 2027 calendar, listed as “inclement weather make-up days”.

“Two (2) teacher Work/PD days are placed at the beginning of the school year to “make up” the assumed loss of at least two (2) days to inclement weather. Should we not lose two (2) days, the school year will be shortened accordingly.”

Making up a lost day

No make-up days are pre-scheduled; student days may be added at the end of the year after an extraordinary number of closures.

“Fremont Public Schools will not pre-schedule inclement weather make-up days for students. Instead, should the administration determine that an extraordinary number of days have been lost to inclement weather throughout the year; student days may be added to the end of the school year.”

The Nebraska rule

How Nebraska counts a lost day

Nebraska requires at least 1,032 instructional hours for elementary grades and 1,080 for high school. At the State Board's discretion, a district that closed for severe storms or epidemic sickness keeps its accreditation and state aid, after the board secretary files a sworn statement if fewer hours will be offered.
