With the continued poor road conditions and the forecasted low of 1 degree tonight, which will refreeze all that thawed out today, Nickerson-South Hutchinson Schools will again be closed tomorrow.
With existing road conditions still dangerous, there will be no school tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan 7, 2025, for USD 309 Nickerson-South Hutchinson schools. This will include Daycare and all activities.
Due to weather conditions, forecasted snowfall, and wind chills for the morning, Nickerson-South Hutchinson USD 309 will not have school on Monday, January 6, 2025. The Daycares will also be closed.
All school activities are canceled.
