Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the ongoing power outages for some of our outlying areas, as well as internet and phone service instability, Norton City Schools will be closed on September 30, 2024. This closure will allow us to thoroughly evaluate our schools and ensure the safest environment possible for our students and staff.
We will be providing pick-up meals to students and children in the community at Norton Elementary and Middle School from 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM on September 30th.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to recover from this situation.
Norton City Schools will be closed today, Friday, September 27th.
Important Update: Hurricane Helene Weather Advisory
In coordination with the City of Norton and local emergency management personnel, Norton City Schools is closely monitoring the potential impacts of Hurricane Helene. While dangerous conditions are not imminent at this time, we want to ensure the safety of all our students and staff.
As a precaution, Norton City Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, September 27, to allow additional time to assess weather conditions in the morning. This will help us make the safest possible decision for our students.
We encourage all families to stay informed and continue following local news and updates from the City of Norton. For further information regarding hurricane preparations, please refer to the City of Norton's Public Service Announcement, available on their website and social media platforms.
Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe!
Stay tuned for further updates via our NCS app and NCS social media.

Information regarding school safety and security for NCS:
The 7th grade math students at NEMS presented to 6th graders as their final exam. The objective was to inform the 6th graders about key points and what to expect on different units coming into 7th grade. It also built confidence and personal growth to speak and present in front of their peers. Most students were nervous but persevered and felt good about themselves in the end! Congrats 7th graders on your Journey through NEMS!
