Your offi cial notifi cation that the safe room is open will be through your NOAA weather radio. When a tornado watch is issued, the public can begin to enter the safe room. When a tornado warning is issued, the safe room will be fully open and operational for everyone. Again, we will be using the NOAA weather radios as our offi cial notifi cation system. You can turn in a special needs form — physical impairments, special medical alerts, aid animal instructions, etc. — by going to www.nixapublicschools.net/ tornado, or calling 875-5400 to have one mailed to you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Zac Rantz, chief communication offi cer and district safety coordinator, at s449-3295, or zacrantz@nixaschools.net.
