At MSDMV, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. When winter weather or other hazardous conditions arise, we will carefully assess road conditions, building accessibility, and weather forecasts before making any adjustments to the school day. Families will be notified of delays, closures, or early dismissals through phone alerts, social media, and local news.

We encourage families to ensure contact information is up-to-date and to monitor our communication platforms when severe weather is expected.

Please read the document below to learn more about our inclement weather plan. 

Students will have a modified recess or will not go outside for recess when the feels-like temperature is above 92 degrees.

At the junior high and high school levels, staff will measure the temperature using a wet bulb meter or the feels-like temperature. These tools are used to determine if sports practices and games will happen. Our policy is to be very careful when the heat index is between 100 and 102.9 degrees. When the heat index reaches 103 degrees, we will cancel events and possibly reschedule practices.  

Exceptions to this policy take place if our athletic trainer measures a lower temperature at the school than the regional app. If this happens, practices may move indoors or start later in the day. We will do our best to communicate in a timely manner with all families so plans can be made accordingly.

If you have any questions, please call your child's school.

Stay tuned for more information on cancellations for the 2026/2027 school year.
