Based on the information available at this time and out of an abundance of caution due to the timing of the potential weather threat, Norman Public Schools will be closed on Monday, November 18, 2024.
All before-school practices and activities have been canceled as well. We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the early afternoon and determine whether after-school practices and activities will be impacted.
Based on the forecast provided to us at this time, we plan for after-school activities and practices to take place. Again, if it changes, we will communicate otherwise as soon as possible.
