How families hear
By email, text message, phone call, the district website, social media and local TV.
“Information will also be posted on the district website, through district social media, and shared with the local news.”Inclement Weather | Millard Public Schools
A 2 hour delay
On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.
“All schools start two hours later than their regular Tuesday through Friday start times. On Mondays, middle schools will also start at 9:55 a.m. and high schools will also start at 10 a.m.”Delay schedule
Remote learning days
Millard has remote learning days in its winter plan.
“There are no set Google Meet times on remote learning days. Students may do the work on their own time at their own pace.”Source

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.
