Good afternoon Mid-Del -
I hope you've all been able to stay safe and warm these last couple of days. Things are looking up. We aren't supposed to get any more precipitation, and tomorrow morning's wind chill should only dip down to negative five!
Yeah, that's pretty bad still. The roads are still sheets of ice. Our parking lots and sidewalks are a mess. Hopefully tomorrow, we will have a chance to start clearing some of the slick areas.
Because of all of this, we will have another Remote Learning Day tomorrow, February 20, 2025. Hopefully (fingers crossed) we will be able to be in school Friday.
Until then, stay inside if there's any way you can. Don't take any unnecessary risks. We'll get back to teaching and learning soon enough.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rick Cobb
Mid-Del Families,
We hope you are staying safe and warm during this period of unpredictable weather. With the uncertainty surrounding school schedules this week, we have decided to postpone Parent-Teacher Conferences to Tuesday, February 25, and Thursday, February 27 to ensure all families have the opportunity to connect with teachers in a safe and productive way.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these adjustments. We appreciate your flexibility and support as we continue working to prioritize the safety and well-being of our students. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s school.
Stay safe and take care. #mdpurpose
