SCHOOLS CLOSED ON MONDAY (1/24/2022)
Dear MCS Families,
This has been a challenging week and we greatly appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation. Our move to digital instruction in grades 8-12 allowed us to remain operational this week, but our state waiver for virtual learning ends today. We have continued to monitor trend lines and staff reports and we feel with everyone returning to in-person instruction on Monday, it will be difficult for us to adequately staff classrooms, cafeterias, and buses. As a result, ALL MARYVILLE SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY (1/24/2022). Adventure Club and Little Next will also be closed. We will re-evaluate the situation on Monday and determine appropriate steps for the remainder of the week, which could include a request for a second waiver.
Situations like weather conditions often materialize at the last minute or in the early hours of the morning. But this situation is unique and since we know for certain we will be short-staffed on Monday, we wanted to give you the earliest possible notification. While we hate to make this call, we feel confident most parents will appreciate having the weekend to make plans.
Just to restate the plan for Monday - WE WILL BE CLOSED. This closure includes in-person and virtual learners in all grades, plus Adventure Club and Little Nest.
Have a good weekend and stay well.
Mike Winstead
