Inclement Weather Procedures
Winter 2026
Noble Public Schools is reminding students, staff, parents, and patrons of our district, the protocols we use in decision making for school closure and notifications. 
Notification Timing & Verification 
In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the district will make every effort to announce a school closure by 5:00 a.m. on the day in question. We will notify the night before if and when possible. 

  • The "No News is Good News" Rule: If you have checked the official district notifications listed below and no announcement has been made by 5:00 a.m., please assume that school will be in session. As always, parents are the final determinate of whether they choose to send their children to school. 
Official Notification Channels 
The district will broadcast closure messages through our Parent Square App as our primary method of communication. In addition, notifications will be posted on:
  • District Website: www.nobleps.com
  • Social Media: The official Noble PS Facebook and Instagram pages.
Media Partners 
School closings will also be publicized via the following local television stations KFOR, KOCO, KWTV, & KOKH.
The Decision-Making Process 
The decision to close school is never taken lightly and involves a rigorous evaluation process beginning at 3:30 a.m. Noble PS officials monitor weather warnings, reports, and radar data from the National Weather Service and local media.
Factors considered include:
  1. Road Conditions: Administrative staff physically inspect main thoroughfares and neighborhood streets to ensure safe passage for buses and drivers. We also evaluate our rural roads for the safety of school buses, our parents and our student drivers.  
  2. Environmental Hazards: Beyond road conditions, officials evaluate temperatures and wind chills to ensure the safety of children waiting for buses or walking to school. 
 
Extra-Curricular Activities are cancelled anytime Inclement Weather is present, or school facility conditions are dangerous to students and patrons. This includes all school, little league, and outside groups and organizations, including weekends, holidays, and school closures.
