District Will Be Closed on Friday - Happy Holidays!
The Neenah Joint School District will be closed on Friday, Dec. 23 due to the impending winter storm. Operations and maintenance employees should check with their supervisor, while all other employees will have a day off. Activities for the Professional Learning Day (PLD) that was scheduled on Friday will take place during the Feb. 20 PLD. Due to the change, NJSD will not be participating in the CESA6 virtual PLD on Feb. 20. More information about the February PLD will be provided closer to the date.
No decision has been made regarding school on Thursday, Dec. 22.
Hopefully this advanced notice for Friday will provide you more time to relax and spend time with your family. We hope you and your family stay healthy and safe over the holiday break. Thank you for all you do and Happy Holidays!
