From Norton City Schools: Important Information:
In anticipation of possible virtual learning days due to inclement weather, the Food Services Program will send two days of meals (breakfast and lunch) home with students on Friday, January 23, 2026.
👉 This does NOT mean that virtual learning has been scheduled.
Additionally, in anticipation of the predicted winter storm and the State of Emergency issued by the Governor of Virginia, city staff, custodians, and administrators are taking proactive steps to ensure that—if school days are missed—we can return to in-person instruction as quickly and safely as possible.
As part of this preparation:
John I. Burton High School and NEMS parking lots will be closed beginning at 4:00 PM today.
Please remove all vehicles from these areas by 4:00 PM and do not enter the lots after that time.
We appreciate your cooperation and support as we work to keep our facilities safe and ready, with the goal of being in school as soon and as much as feasible.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership.
