Carson City schools on 2-hour delay Tuesday due to weather; WNC also delays opening
As a result of the winter-related conditions, all schools in the Carson City School District will be on a 2-hour delay Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023. Buses will also operate on a 2-hour delay, so arrival times will be approximately 2-hours later than usual. There will be no Pre-School classes or breakfast served at school.
Employees are to report to work at least 15 minutes before, but not more than 30 minutes before student instruction begins and as specified in their regular assignment to allow time to prepare safe parking lots and walkways. They should take caution and plan 2-times their normal travel time depending on driving conditions.
The school day will end at the regular time. Please have students wear appropriate clothing and footwear for cold and wet weather. Please stay tuned to local media and the district’s website at carsoncityschools.com for updates. Click here for more information about weather-related school closures.
