Dear MPS Families and Staff,
Following a thorough evaluation of campus staffing coverage, all Montgomery Public Schools and administrative offices will be CLOSED tomorrow, Friday, October 9.
This operational decision was made to prioritize students' safety and supervision throughout the district. We are facing a high volume of employee leave requests, anticipated regional effects from Hurricane Isaias, a declared State of Emergency in Montgomery County, and the rescheduling of Alabama State University's annual Homecoming. These factors prevent us from maintaining adequate operational coverage across the district.
All campus buildings and administrative facilities will remain closed, and there will be no in-person or remote instruction tomorrow. All MPS campuses will reopen for normal operations on Tuesday, October 13, following the scheduled federal holiday.
Guidance regarding Friday evening athletics will be communicated directly by school leadership.
We deeply appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work to ensure a safe environment for our scholars and staff.
Sincerely,
Montgomery Public Schools Leadership
We are currently seeing a significant increase in employee leave requests across teachers, support staff, bus drivers, and other personnel. Our substitute staffing vendor is experiencing a high volume of requests and limited coverage. Adequate staffing is critical to maintaining a safe, secure, and productive learning environment for our scholars. District leadership is actively evaluating staffing coverage across all campuses.
We will continue assessing our operational needs and will provide families and staff with an official update no later than 12:00 p.m. tomorrow, October 8, regarding any adjustments to school schedules or operations.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support of Montgomery Public Schools.
Our coaches do far more than teach the fundamentals of sports—they build character, instill discipline, foster teamwork, and inspire our student-athletes to strive for excellence both on the field and in the classroom.
Thank you to all of our MPS coaches for your tireless dedication, late hours, and endless belief in our students!
Check out what's happening this month at Wilson Elementary!
Today and every day, we celebrate the passion, dedication, and heart our teachers bring into the classroom. You inspire minds, ignite curiosity, and shape the future of our community one student at a time.
Help us celebrate our educators! Tag your favorite MPS teacher in the comments below and tell them how much they mean to you!
Every single day, our custodial team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our classrooms, hallways, and campuses clean, safe, and welcoming for our students and staff. They are the heartbeat of our school facilities!
We encourage our MPS Family to appreciate our custodians every day!
Today, Wilson Elementary celebrates Mrs. Shirley, Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Patrice for all they do to keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming! Thank you for your hard work and dedication! 🧹✨
