Dear MCSD Community:
With winter weather upon us we wanted to share how a delay or school closing will be
communicated.
Any changes to the school day will be communicated through ParentSquare, posted on
our website, social media, and through local media outlets.
Delays are typically two hours:
● Elementary Schools Two-hour delay start time: 11:05 a.m.
● Junior/Senior High School Two-hour delay start time: 9:47 a.m.
In the event of a delay, breakfast will not be served

Morning closings or delays will typically be communicated no later than 6:00am at the
very latest, however we will strive for earlier.
Please note whenever schools are closed for emergency reasons, after school activities
will be canceled.
In order for us to communicate effectively please make every effort to keep your
school’s main office informed of any changes to your contact information as this
information feeds our notification systems.
Also, please remember that neighboring districts have differing needs and challenges,
and may make different decisions regarding delays and closings.
