Good Afternoon Chiefs,
This is Dr. Hembree from McCormick County School District with an important message.
McCormick County School District plans to operate on a normal schedule tomorrow, Tuesday January 21st.
Temperatures will be extremely cold on Tuesday morning, however, with wind chills between 10 and 15 degrees. All students are encouraged to dress in warm layers. We encourage parents of bus riders to please consider driving them to their bus stop in the morning so they may wait in a warm car. For students who are picked up at their homes, bus drivers will allow extra time for students to wait inside until their bus arrives.
Please note, we are carefully monitoring the forecast for Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, and will let you know as soon as possible if we need to make any changes to Wednesday’s schedule.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this message, and please stay safe and warm.

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Good Evening Chiefs,
This is Dr. Hembree from McCormick County School District with an important weather update.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for our area, beginning on Friday, January 10th, at 7 a.m. and lasting through Saturday, January 11th, at 7 a.m. Snow, sleet, and ice accumulations are possible for hazardous road conditions.
Due to the winter storm watch that has been issued, Friday, January 10th, will be an e-learning day for all students. This means students will access lessons via their Google Classroom. Your child's school will provide additional details pertaining to e-learning assignments on Thursday.
Please note that tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th, is still a regular school day.... We ask that all students bring home their Chromebooks and chargers at the end of the school day tomorrow in preparation for the e-learning day on Friday.
Thank you for your attention to this essential update, and please stay safe and warm.
