Mission Valley 330

Viking Family-----USD 330 Mission Valley will not be in session on Wednesday, February 17th, 2021 due to continued concerns with sub-zero wind chill temperatures, concerns with transportation in the morning, and the possibility for rolling power outages. All activities and events for tomorrow are cancelled. GO VIKINGS----STAY HEALTHY---STAY SAFE--STAY WARM

VIKING FAMILY--I just wanted to send a quick message regarding school tomorrow (2.17.21). At this point no decision has been made to have or not have school tomorrow. Right now we are gathering information about rolling energy blackouts that may occur tomorrow and are working on making sure that our buses are safe to transport students. If we are able to have school there is a chance that there will NOT be any morning transportation and possibly evening transportation if we are still having issues with buses. Please make other arrangements for the possible need of transportation tomorrow. If we are able to have school but then we are placed in an energy blackout it is important that child is dressed accordingly to deal with possible chilly temps in the building. All students should wear long pants, warm shirt and have a coat, hat, and gloves available to them during the day. If we are at school and there is an energy blackout and power is not going to be restored in a timely manner then we may be forced to leave school early. Without electricity we obviously can not keep a building warm or educate effectively........but we also can not prepare meals for 400+ students. USD 330 will send out additional information later this evening regarding school, however, please take this time to make plan for the different scenarios. Thank you for your time and cooperation. Our goal is to get the students back into school tomorrow! GO VIKINGS!
