Good afternoon! School will be in session on Monday, February 7th. There are a few important adjustments that we will make so that we can make sure everyone stays safe. If you live on a gravel road, please drive your student to the nearest road in the morning. Students will be picked up at the usual time. At the high school, there will be no parking or bus drop-offs on the gravel road at the back of the school. All students and staff should park at the front of the school. USE THE MAIN ENTRANCE, ONLY. At the elementary school, the car loop will be used for all drop-offs. Do not drop-off under the awning unless directed by staff to do so. District personnel will be working early in the morning to remove any ice. Drop-off could take a little longer than usual, so please be patient. We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Payneway families, we are opening the elementary storm shelter at 2:00 p.m. If you can make it to the elementary school and you need a place to stay warm, we can help.

MTSD will be taking an AMI day on Friday, February 4th. Please make sure students complete AMI packets before our return to school on Monday. Teachers are available by email during school hours, if needed. We continue to monitor the community's power situation. If areas of town lose power, we will open the storm shelters for you to stay warm! Be safe!

Due to the risk of significant weather, Marked Tree School District will take an AMI day on Thursday, February 3rd. We hope this gives our families ample to make needed adjustments for their families. Just a reminder that the storm shelters will be available if power is lost in our community. Please check our social media outlets for updates.

Families of MTSD, We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the day. We also know the need that parents/guardians have for timely information when school might be cancelled. If the forecast remains consistent, we will make a decision about canceling school tonight. Either way, we will update you between 6:30-7:00 p.m. This allows us to watch the weather one more time and make sure the forecast is holding up. By letting you know tonight, we hope to help you be better prepared.
