We hope to see you on Monday Rebels! We miss you!

OC Families,

For the safety of our students and staff, Owen County Schools will be closed on Friday, February 6th. This is a traditional snow day!

Our road conditions across the county have definitely continued to improve but several areas remain unsafe for bus travel. Even our alternate bus route plans cannot be achieved at this time. However, our road crews have done an amazing job getting our roads as clean as possible during this horrible winter season!

Current conditions, and the impending weather that is due to arrive in the morning, and into the afternoon, has the potential to cause travel concerns getting our students home safely tomorrow. So, we are making this decision with safety at the forefront.

Thank you for your continued partnership, grace, understanding, and flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We always strive to make student and staff safety a priority when making decisions, and this weather has definitely been a disruption to everyone. We want to see our students back in school and all activities return to normal as long as it can be achieved safely. We look forward to returning soon!

Be safe and stay warm, Rebels!nihont

Stay warm and safe Rebels.

OC Families,

Although state and county road departments have made significant progress today treating roads from yesterday’s snow event, several areas across the county remain unsafe for bus travel and need additional time to improve conditions after our team drove routes late this afternoon. We cannot thank our road crews enough for all of their hard work!

For the safety of our students and staff, Owen County Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 5th. This is a traditional snow day!

Thank you for your continued partnership, grace, understanding, and flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Be safe and stay warm, Rebels!

We want to communicate early, whenever possible, so our families can plan.

Thank you for your continued partnership, grace, understanding, and flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff and battle this next round of winter weather together!

Be safe and stay warm, Rebels!

OC Families,

After speaking with the National Weather Service throughout the day and closely monitoring the forecast for tomorrow, we have made the decision for Owen County Schools to operate on Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Day #10 on Tuesday, February 3rd.

We are making this decision now so families have time to plan. The timing of this weather event is not ideal, as conditions are expected to begin around the start of the school day, with the heaviest impacts forecasted between 12:00-2:00 p.m. This would result in student transportation occurring during the most hazardous part of the event.

As always, the safety of our students and staff remains at the heart of every decision we make. We also recognize the importance of providing families with advance notice whenever possible, especially when weather events may disrupt daily plans.

Thank you for your continued partnership, grace, understanding, and flexibility as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Be safe and stay warm, Rebels!
