Hello Mid-South Families!
It looks like Mother Nature has decided to throw a little curveball our way as we gear up for February 18, 2025. Yes, you heard it right! Inclement weather is on the horizon, and to keep our students safe, numerous schools across the Mid-South are making some important adjustments to their class schedules.
What’s Happening?
The weather we’re expecting has been linked to none other than Hurricane Francine. While we may be some distance away from the hurricane’s center, the effects are still reaching us. Schools in the region—including Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS), Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland, Millington, and DeSoto County—are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of our kiddos.
Specific Changes to Class Schedules
So, what exactly can parents and students expect? Many of the schools are announcing a mix of school closures, delays, and early dismissals on that day, February 18th. If you’re wondering whether your child’s school is affected, it’s super important to stay informed. Administrative buildings for the MSCS will also be closed, so plan accordingly!
If your school is one of the lucky ones to remain open, you might still want to prepare for a possible *delayed start* or even an early dismissal. Schools are doing their best to manage this evolving situation, and they’ll provide notifications through official channels to keep everyone in the loop.
Stay Informed!
Parents and students are strongly encouraged to regularly check local news sources and school district communications for the latest updates on what schools are doing and what you need to know. Staying informed is key as we navigate these weather-related changes together.
Remember last time when the MSCS made headlines for canceling classes due to forecasted snowfall? With this new weather system coming our way, they’re keeping a close eye on everything to make sure our students stay safe and sound.
Preparation and Safety First!
As we prepare for what’s ahead, let’s all be proactive! Make sure you have a plan in place regarding transportation, childcare, and other daily routines that could be affected by these adjustments. Communication is critical in times like these, so just keep those lines open with your kiddos to ease any worries they might have.
Also, make sure to stock up on some comforting snacks or fun indoor activities. If you do end up with an unexpected day off, it could be a great time for a cozy movie marathon or some board games with family.
Final Words
In summary, stay tuned for updates from your local school district, and don’t forget to check in with your friends and neighbors to see how they’re managing the weather changes. Together, we can navigate this situation successfully while keeping our students safe. As we brace for Hurricane Francine’s effects, let’s keep our spirits high and be ready for whatever comes our way on February 18, 2025!
Be safe out there, Mid-South families! We’re all in this together, one school day at a time!
