Office Updates
If your child will be absent, please notify the office. A note, phone call, or email to Mrs. McCartney helps the office keep all records accurate and up to date.
Due to Covid-19, visitors will not be allowed in the building during the school day. If your child needs to leave early, please only send in one family member.
Do you need to change your child's means of transportation for the day? Please send a note or call the office by 2:30. Mrs. McCartney does not automatically receive classroom Dojo messages, and contacting the office avoids confusion during dismissal.
What's for Breakfast and Lunch?
MSD Food Service is offering breakfast and lunch for students on eLearning Wednesdays. To participate, families need to sign up each week by Monday at 12 p.m. Students will take their meals home Tuesday to enjoy for Wednesday.

Winter Weather Conditions
Weather decisions are made by a district team who monitor conditions closely both through technology as well as by driving actual roads throughout the district. When determining a delay, early dismissal, or cancellation of school, countywide weather conditions are reviewed. In addition, we utilize the National Weather Service website @ www.nws.noaa.gov/om/cold/wind_chill.shtml as well as a private product called Weather Sentry. Decisions on delays or closures will be communicated to you and your family in the following ways by the district:
1.Staff/ parents will be notified through an all-call using School Messenger. (Telephone numbers are generated from our Skyward database. At your convenience, please check Skyward to ensure your telephone # is up-to-date for this academic year.)
2.Communication will be added to the district's website (msdofmartinsville.org) and social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, (MSD Martinsville)
3.Communication will be sent to the following radio and TV stations: WCBK, WISH 8, WRTV-6, WTHR-13, FOX-59.
