It is that time of year when inclement weather has become a concern. Moniteau School District is committed to providing our students with the best possible education. We have learned from our experiences over the past few years that our students learn best in an in-person learning environment. In an effort to better support our students, Moniteau School District is using traditional snow days. If we use all available snow days, we will move to the flexible instruction day format.
Please know that all efforts will be made to get students to school in a safe and timely manner. The district will continue to use two-hour delays as an option prior to a school closure or flexible instruction day being considered. Decisions of this nature are not entered into lightly. Your child’s safety, as well as the safety of our staff, are of the utmost importance.
Please see our inclement weather letter for more information. We appreciate, in advance, your support to our commitment of excellence.
