Student safety is a top priority of the Niles City Schools. The district constantly monitors weather conditions to ensure students can be safely transported to and from school. We understand the decision to delay or close school impacts our families, which is why the administration makes every effort to notify families as early as possible in the event of a two-hour delay or cancellation.
Two-Hour Delay Schedule
If a two-hour delay is implemented, all of our school buildings will open exactly two hours later than their regularly scheduled start time. Bus routes will also be delayed by two hours. When school is delayed by two hours, students cannot be dropped off at their school’s regular start time as no employees will be present. Dismissal times at our schools are not adjusted on days in which two-hour delays are implemented.
School | Regular day start time | Two-hour delayed start time |
Niles McKinley High School | 7:30 a.m. | 9:30 a.m. |
Niles Middle School | 7:45 a.m. | 9:45 a.m. |
Niles Intermediate School | 8:30 a.m. | 10:30 a.m. |
Niles Primary School | 8:45 a.m. | 10:45 a.m. |
Please note that a two-hour delay can change to a cancellation of school if weather conditions warrant.
