EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

There are situations that may arise during the course of a day that may result in the school district calling for early closing, delayed opening, or school closure for the entire day. Most often, these closures are due to inclement weather, but other circumstances exist that may require such action include flooding, lack of heat or water, extremely high temperatures, and sudden or worsening storms.

In these or other instances, the district will utilize several forms of communication in order to contact parents/guardians as quickly as possible about any changes to the normal school day. The primary forms of communication include automated phone messages, e-mail messages, Facebook, and notices posted on the district’s website – www.mtps.org.

Announcements about emergency one-session days will be made utilizing the aforementioned communication systems.  Circumstances for emergency one-session days may  include but are not limited to flooding, lack of heat or water, extremely high temperatures, and sudden or worsening storms.  

 

 

Lunches on One-Session Days:

If it is determined that there is a need for a one-session day prior to students entering the building, no lunches will be served.  

If an emergency arises and there is a need for a one-session day while students are in session, lunches will be served.
