Snow and Emergency Closures

Generally MCS will follow Bainbridge Island School closures as announced on most major radio and T.V. stations with the following considerations:

•  If Bainbridge schools are closed, MCS will be closed.

•  If Bainbridge schools are running 1 hour late, all morning classes will begin at 9:40.

•  If Bainbridge schools are 2 hours late, MCS will cancel morning classes; the afternoon classes will meet at the usual time; no lunch program

•  In the event we must make a decision other than the above, you will be notified by your room representative.  Please be sure to advise him/her if your phone number has changed.
