We have had several questions about when our last day of school will be for the 2025-26 school year. While the school calendar may look like we are ending the school year on May 15, those “red” days in May on the calendar are inclement weather make-up days and will be changed to school days as we miss this winter. For example, being out of school today (January 15) moves the last day of school to May 18, 2026. EOG testing must occur during the last 10 school days and EOC testing must occur during the last 5 school days. Please keep this in mind as you schedule your summer plans.

A big thank you to our transportation and maintenance workers this morning! They arrived early to make sure our buildings were heated and got all of our buses started on their routes on time! When making decisions about delays, it isn't just the weather and temperature we are looking at for school start times, but the temperature and precipitation data at the time the first bus starts its route. In deciding between a one hour and two hour delay this morning, there was only a temperature difference of one degree. We are glad we could get our students into warm buildings with breakfast, start a very busy and festive week in our elementary and middle schools, and keep our high school students on their exam schedule.
Mitchell County Schools will be on a 1 hour delay tomorrow, Monday, December 15th. This will allow us to make sure all buses start with single digit temperatures overnight. Staff will report at normal time and buildings will be open at normal time for drop offs. Please do not leave students unattended while waiting on buses. We will post any bus issues tomorrow morning,if needed.
Our Bus Garage had their state inspection and received one of the top scores in the state! They have also had many early mornings recently checking roads and making sure buses start with the cold temperatures. Thank you Rick, Jonathan, Larry, Waylon, and Brandy for making sure our students get to school safely each day!
