The LouPlatte Speech Meet scheduled for tomorrow Wednesday, March 5th at Centura High School has been moved back one hour with a new start time of 10:00am.
After consulting with the National Weather Service in both Hastings and North Platte, the strong winds and potential snowfall in our area is moving in earlier today than forecasted. This weather event will create hazardous travel conditions, especially for high profile vehicles such as school buses. Therefore out of an abundance of caution, the Ord Public Schools will dismiss at 1:00 today with buses running accordingly. If you need assistance with your student's dismissal plans, please contact the school.
