EMERGENCY WEATHER INFORMATION

In the event of bad weather, every effort is made to notify parents of a late start of school, early dismissal or school cancellation. Please listen to local radio or television news stations or go to the Mifflin County School District web site @ www.mcsdk12.org for information regarding school delays, cancellations and early dismissals from school. Please do not call the school to obtain this information except in case of an emergency.

In the event of a two hour delay in the start of school, students will be picked up by their busses approximately two hours later than normal.
