The Weekly Update #24

MRUSD Schools routinely practice safety drills to prompt awareness and response to potential emergency situations. This month we are practicing our mandatory Options Based Drill. On Monday our students will experience the new 911Inform Automated System for this drill. They will hear the automated announcement and then discuss what they would do if it were a real emergency. We encourage you to engage your children in a conversation on what they heard, what they learned, and how they felt about the drill.

As we move toward the end of the 2025–2026 school year, here are a few important dates to keep in mind:

• Last day of school for students
  • BFA, Fairfield, NCTC, and SATEC: Wednesday, June 17, 2026
  • Saint Albans City School: Thursday, June 18, 2026 (City School students will attend an extra day to make up for the January 23 closure.)
• Staff in-service days (all teachers and educational support staff)
  • Thursday, June 18, 2026 – BFA, Fairfield, NCTC, SATEC
  • Monday, June 22, 2026 – Saint Albans City School
• Juneteenth Independence Day (National Holiday)
  • Friday, June 19, 2026 – all schools and offices closed

Winter weather can sometimes cause schedule changes. Thank you for being flexible and helping keep our school community safe.

We appreciate the care, energy, and creativity our students, families, and staff bring every day. Together, we make our schools welcoming, safe, and inspiring places to learn.
