Weather-related school closings
With winter just around the corner and the possibility of sub-zero temperatures and severe snow conditions looming, the District has taken a closer look at school-closing procedures and communications. While the process and focus for weather-related closings will not change this year, Mounds View Public Schools families should be prepared to see one of three designations for our school days this winter season: School Day, Severe Weather Day or Snow Day. The District's web site and Weather Watch Hotline at 651-621-SNOW will offer 24-hour access to the latest weather-related school news. For more details, read Superintendent Dan Hoverman's column on snow day decision-making.
