Midlothian ISD CLOSED 1/9/25
Midlothian ISD schools and facilities to close Thursday, January 9. ❄️ The forecasted winter storm is approaching North Texas. Based on information from the National Weather Service, conditions will vary greatly within our community and region. There is a likelihood that road conditions could deteriorate during the school day on Thursday, which could create the potential for slick roads within the outlying portions of our 112-square-mile MISD boundaries. In order to ensure we do not put our students, staff and families in an unsafe situation, MISD schools and offices will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 9. All after-school events and activities will be canceled.
The safety of our families and staff is a priority, and the decision to close was made out of an abundance of caution. With the weather possibly deteriorating during school hours on Thursday, we want to err on the side of safety to prevent a need to release school early. An early release creates many complications including but not limited to: ensuring parents are home to receive young children, parents picking up younger children earlier than usual, high school-aged drivers possibly driving home in difficult road conditions, and staff attempting to make it home in difficult conditions. We know that a number of our staff drive from various cities outside of Midlothian, including DFW areas that are forecasted to receive the greatest level of winter precipitation.
The district will continue to monitor conditions and communicate with the National Weather Service and local city agencies. To keep everyone informed, updates regarding classes on Friday, Jan.10, will be shared through email, text, and social media.
We hope the early notification helps families with any necessary childcare arrangements.
The day of missed instruction will not require a make-up day. The MISD calendar includes additional minutes to accommodate inclement weather. We appreciate your support and understanding.
Red Oak ISD Closed 1/9/25
