As we come to the colder months of the year, the chance for inclement weather increases, and we want to share with our families, especially those who are new to LNC, our process for communicating inclement weather impacts to the school day.

We will announce any decision to cancel or delay school through a number of channels including:  

Decisions regarding the closing of school or implementing a delayed start time will be made by 5:30am and are based on weather conditions in our immediate school area and are not necessarily connected to the decisions that other schools make regarding delays and cancellations. This point is worth mentioning as some incorrectly assume that LNC is closed whenever the local public school makes the decision to cancel school. Please note that we do not contact the local news stations in the event that school remains open.

As we say often, the safety of our students and families is our highest priority so we will not hesitate to cancel or delay school should the need arise.

This week, your student is bringing home a brochure from Duke Energy entitled "McGuire Nuclear Station 2020-2021 Emergency Preparedness Information." Please review the information in the brochure so you know what to do in case LNC is asked to evacuate. If there were an emergency situation involving McGuire Nuclear Station, Lake Norman Charter would be contacted by county emergency management officials. Not all emergencies would require LNC to evacuate. Listen to local radio or TV stations to find out if our zone, ZONE 7, is being evacuated. Additional information about LNC's procedures in case of evacuation are available in Schoology LNC2HSP, LNC2MSP and LNC2ESP, (Resources, LNC Safety Procedures).
