Also, see this link (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M9naDQCvudiruntbQWwFEL7pRX9VxOgQmRLa8eoozFY/edit?usp=sharing) to a blanket exposure letter to families from Catawba County Public Health.

Overnight there are possibilities for small amounts of rain/frozen precipitation but it should be brief and disappear quickly. Heavy overnight wind gusts should help dry off the roads, which lessens the potential for any slick spots in the early morning hours. With this being said, winter weather can be unpredictable. As such, Newton-Conover City Schools leadership is actively watching the weather for tomorrow, Friday, January 7. If there is a need for a delay, an announcement will be made by 6:00 am. If no announcement is made, school will operate on a normal schedule.
