In the event of inclement weather, the MSCS Administration will communicate to families any disruption to the normal schedule via our student information system (Infinite Campus) announcements, as well as on our school home page, social media, and local news outlets. 

The following are possible schedule disruptions:

• Delayed Start:  School will start 2 hours later than normal, at 10:15 a.m., with doors opening at 10:00.  There will be no half-day kindergarten.

• School Closure:  School will be closed for the day.  

• Grades K-5 will be canceled.

• Grades 6-8 may be canceled, or

• Grades 6-8 may have a Remote Learning Day.  In the case that the maximum number of snow days have already been called, a Remote Learning Day may be called in order for middle school students to meet their minimum required learning time for the school year.  Remote Learning Google Classrooms will be prepared in advance.  A specific decision for this contingency will be announced. 

• Early Dismissal:  School will be dismissed early due to worsening weather conditions.

• After School and Evening Cancellations:  

• • School-related events and activities will be communicated in the announcements.
  • Innovation Learning, our partner in after-school care, will communicate directly with families.

Factors considered when making weather-related decisions include:

• Varied weather and road conditions in the area, knowing we have families that live throughout the region.
• Our school staffing capacities;
• Decisions that neighboring districts have made.

Families ultimately should make decisions based on their own family’s safety.  Absences due to weather events will be excused – please notify the front office.
