Mehlville School District: How We're Handling Snow Days During The 2021-2022 School Year

Press release from the Mehlville School District:

10/28/2021

This school year, Mehlville School District will use up to four traditional snow days for inclement weather. Should the district need to close on additional days due to weather, students will have virtual instruction days.
 
After two years of pivoting between in-person and virtual learning due to COVID-19, the district decided it would be best to use traditional snow days to maximize in-person learning and to provide a break for students and staff to enjoy the day off.
 
- On a traditional snow day, there is no in-person school and no virtual learning. Traditional snow days will be made up beginning on May 31 through June 3, as scheduled on the district calendar. If we do not use any snow days, then the last day of school will be May 27, 2022.
 
- On a virtual instruction day, students are expected to log in to their Chromebooks for instruction and assignments. Virtual instruction days are not made up. If we use a virtual instruction day, more information about schedules and expectations will be shared with parents.
 
On both traditional snow days and virtual instruction days, all after-school and evening activities and events are canceled unless otherwise communicated. This includes Y Club, community enrichment programs and facility rentals.
 
In the event that we use a traditional snow day or a virtual instruction day, staff and parents will be notified via text, phone call and/or email through ParentSquare. Additionally, high school students will receive an email via ParentSquare. Snow days and virtual instruction days will also be announced through the district Twitter account, Facebook account and Instagram account, via our district website, mehlvilleschooldistrict.com, through local television stations and other media partners.
