MCS resumes classes on a two-hour delay Wednesday, January 22

Please see the below email Superintendent Grant Rivera sent to families Tuesday afternoon:

Dear MCS Family,

After collaboration with the Cobb County School District, we will open our MCS schools tomorrow on a two-hour delay.

Some logistics to address obvious questions, as we don’t do this often:

• Your school start time is exactly two hours later than the normal start time. (See times below)
• We will end the school day at the normal dismissal time (our school day is not extended by two hours).
• For our bus riders, due to cold conditions, students are encouraged to remain indoors or in a car until their bus arrives at the designated stop (which will be approximately two hours later than the regular bus stop time). Please refer to the My Ride K-12 bus app for specific bus route arrival times.
• For our families needing the “Before School Program” (BSP), our elementary and MSGA BSP will open at 8:30 a.m.
• All after-school activities will proceed as scheduled. 

Thanks for your continued patience and grace – we are hopeful this approach gives our students the opportunity to safely return to some sense of normalcy.

Grant
