❄️ 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
Please ensure your contact information is up to date in Alma. To make updates, contact your building office.
📺 Local Media
Local news stations will also be notified.
🌐 Website & Social Media

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to keep our students, staff, and families safe throughout the winter months. ❄️

❄️ Who can contain the excitement of 4th graders when the first few snowflakes of the season fall? Not us! Experiencing the magic of the season through the eyes of a child never gets old. ❄️ 4th grade really enjoyed a couple of minutes outside to study snowflake patterns!

🌟 Verona Elementary School – November Students of the Month! 🌟

We are excited to celebrate our November Students of the Month, who continue to show what it means to be leaders in our PBIS expectations here at Verona Elementary. Each of these students has demonstrated kindness, responsibility, and a positive attitude—traits that make our school community stronger every single day.

As we move through this season of thankfulness, we are especially grateful for students who model respect, support their classmates, and help create a school where everyone feels welcomed and valued. Their actions remind us that even the smallest positive choices can make a big impact.

Please join us in congratulating our outstanding Wildcats! 🐾💜
Thank you, students, for showing us what it looks like to learn, lead, and lift others up.
