Winter weather reminder
Should snow or ice alter the school day, expect to receive a USN Alert 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. Be sure your wireless number is listed correctly in the usn.org directory to receive USN Alerts. Also, share your snow day fun by emailing socialmedia@usn.org or using #USNsnowday; we especially appreciate photos of the USN community wearing school gear.

In the event USN will delay opening or not hold school for the day due to inclement weather, we will post an announcement on 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.
Families will also be notified with a USN Alert, which sends text messages, voice calls, and emails to parents and guardians for enrolled students. Please visit your student's usn.org profile to review the wireless phone numbers and email addresses USN has on file for your family. These messages will not be sent to those listed as "emergency contacts."
