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.
