Winter weather reminder
When weather alters the school day, families will be notified through our Emergency Alert System and email by 5 a.m. This information will also be posted on the usn.org homepage and the school's official social media accounts as well as shared with local broadcast stations.

In the event USN will delay opening or not hold school for the day due to inclement weather, we will post an announcement at usn.org and the school's official social media accounts, share this information with WKRN (Channel 2), WSMV (Channel 4), and NewsChannel 5, and send an email. This information should be accessible by 5 a.m. These methods also are used when school closes early, although that decision may be made during the day.
