Verona R-7 School District

💜 Important Weather Update – Snow Day Tomorrow 💛 We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we closely monitored road conditions today. Our hope was that the sunshine and warmer temperatures would help clear more of the farm roads south of Hwy 60. Unfortunately, the roads did not improve as much as we had anticipated. Thanks to the hard work of our road crews and community members, the school and many of our roads are now driveable. However, several southern routes in the hills and curves remain unsafe for our buses to navigate. In addition, many roads are still slick and too unpredictable for parents and beginning drivers. Because student safety is always our top priority, tomorrow will be a Snow Day. We also want to take a moment to thank our students for their incredible effort during the past three AMI Days. Your hard work, perseverance, and Wildcat pride did not go unnoticed! 🐾💜 Because of your dedication, tomorrow will be a true snow day—no AMI work assigned. Thank you again for your understanding, support, and cooperation. We are sorry for any confusion this change of plans may have caused. We are grateful for our Verona families and community, and we look forward to welcoming our Wildcats back on Monday!

❄️ Verona R-VII Winter Weather Cancellation Procedures ❄️

As the winter weather months approach, the Verona R-VII School District wants to ensure our families, staff, and community are informed and prepared for possible school closures or early dismissals.

How We Decide
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. District administrators closely monitor weather forecasts, road conditions, and guidance from local officials. When inclement weather makes it unsafe to operate buses or conduct school safely, a decision will be made to cancel school or adjust the school day. Every effort is made to make thoughtful, timely decisions with safety at the forefront.

What to Expect
❄️Closure Announcements: School closure decisions will typically be made the night before or by 6:00 AM.
❄️Early Dismissals: If conditions change during the day, notifications will be sent as soon as a decision is made.
❄️The district will use a combination of AMI days and built-in snow days to ensure we meet the instructional hour requirements outlined in our master calendar.

How We Communicate
Once a decision is made, families will be notified through multiple channels:
📞 Phone Calls & Text Alerts
