Children dressed warmly returning to school after winter break in Memphis.
Memphis-Shelby County School District will reopen on February 21, 2025, after a two-day closure due to a winter storm. The storm brought 1-3 inches of snow and icy conditions, leading to hazardous roads. Parents are reminded to dress their children warmly as they return to school, with expectations of chilly temperatures persisting. The community has come together during this weather disruption, and students are eager to resume their routines. Schools are anticipating a smooth return as weather conditions improve.
The city of Memphis is buzzing with excitement as schools and district offices in the Memphis-Shelby County School District (MSCS) will be opening their doors once again on Friday, February 21, 2025. After a two-day winter break caused by some pretty intense weather, families are preparing to get back into the school routine.
This unexpected closure was triggered by the Mid-South’s second winter storm of the year. On Wednesday and Thursday, students and staff found themselves enjoying a bit of a snow day, with the storm dumping between 1-3 inches of snow and a thin layer of ice across the region. While many took the opportunity to enjoy the winter wonderland, the weather also made getting around quite the challenge.
With treacherous road conditions, school officials made the decision to close both schools and district offices, ensuring the safety of students and staff alike. Transportation was a no-go for many, as slick roads created a hazardous situation for those trying to get where they needed to be. Even the most seasoned drivers were having a tough time navigating the icy terrain!
As students prepare to head back to school, it’s important for parents to stay informed about the weather forecast. Although many roads are predicted to be cleared by Friday, temperatures will remain quite chilly. Morning temperatures will be lingering below freezing, hovering around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Yikes! And while temperatures may slightly exceed 32 degrees in the afternoon, it’s best to prepare for those frosty conditions.
School officials are kindly reminding parents to ensure that their children are dressed warmly for their return to the classroom. Think coats, extra layers, gloves, and scarves! It’s essential to keep those little ones cozy and protected from the biting cold.
After two days off, students might be feeling a mix of excitement and nerves about returning to their studies. Whether it’s meeting up with friends, tackling long-awaited assignments, or getting back into their favorite extracurricular activities, children are sure to have plenty to talk about!
This weather event has not only disrupted school routines but has also brought the community together in various ways. Families have been looking out for one another, sharing resources, and ensuring that those who need assistance during the storm are taken care of. That’s the spirit, Memphis!
As we get ready to welcome back the students, let’s all hope for milder weather in the upcoming days. The cold winter air is a reminder that spring is still a little ways off, but for now, let’s embrace the cozy, snowy vibes and make the best of this chilly season.
So, with all this said, mark your calendars for Friday, everyone. It’s time to shake off the winter break cobwebs and jump back into learning! Stay warm out there, Memphis, and we’ll see you in the classrooms!
