Happy Presidents' Day!
Greetings,
Due to ongoing winter weather conditions, Berea Community Schools will be closed tomorrow for a traditional snow day. While we initially planned to be in session, current conditions have led us to make the safest decision for our students and staff.
We recognize that snowfall has been inconsistent across the district. However, reports of black ice during the morning commute have caused us to take a cautious approach to travel.
We wanted to notify you as early as possible to allow for planning, as we understand these changes impact your schedules. The unpredictable nature of this weather continues to create challenges, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our school community.
We will make up the day on March 14th.
Please stay safe and stay warm.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hatchett
Superintendent
Berea Community Schools
Officer Bradley, we appreciate you!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Berea Independent will extend NTI into Wednesday the 22nd due to hazardous temperatures. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous alert for Madison County, with wind chills ranging into -7 to -15 degrees in the morning. This alert is not taken lightly in our district as it can be very dangerous for our students and staff.
We aimed to be in person but will plan on Thursday to get our students back on campus.
Surrounding districts are treating this threat with the same kind of care for their communities.
Be well and stay safe!
Warm regards,
Dr. Hatchett, Superintendent

Greetings Pirates,
Due to the harsh temperatures and the time required to clear our campus of ice that is struggling to melt in these single-digit conditions, we will transition to an NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) day tomorrow. While our goal is always to have students on campus, the safety of our students, staff, and families remains our top priority.
We are hopeful to resume in-person instruction on Wednesday, weather permitting. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate these conditions together. Stay safe and warm!
Warm regards,
Dr. Diane Hatchett, Superintendent
