“Nebo School District will send notifications regarding inclement weather decisions via phone, email, and text.”
Inclement Weather/School Closure Status

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“With a Delayed Start, schools will start exactly two hours later than their regular start time. The ending time will remain the same as normal.”
Delay schedule

Making up a lost day

A snow day may need to be made up later in the year, with advance notice; delayed starts are not made up.

“For each school closure (snow day) taken, the day may need to be made up later in the school year. Parents and employees will be notified in advance of the make-up day(s). Delayed start days do not need to be made up.”

The Utah rule

How Utah counts a lost day

Utah requires at least 180 school days of educational services. No fixed count; a district that closes for snow and would fall short of 180 days can ask the State Superintendent for a waiver, granted without Board approval if it built contingency days into its calendar.
