This decision was made based on the latest forecast from the National Weather Service and in collaboration with Wilson County Emergency Management.
Wed., Feb. 4 will be a Remote Learning Day for Wilson County Schools because of unsafe conditions on roads and the potential for more inclement weather. Remote learning means that students will complete assignments at home and will not report to school.
Due to the weather, Tues., Feb. 3 will be a Remote Learning Day for Wilson County Schools because of unsafe conditions on roads and low temperatures throughout the day. Remote learning means that students will complete assignments at home and will not report to school.
