Dear Parents and Guardians,
Unfortunately, our roads did not improve as much today as we had hoped. There are still several gravel roads in the county and side streets in Metropolis that are not safe enough for school bus travel.
Due to hazardous road conditions, Massac Unit 1 Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 29, 2026. The district will implement an E-Learning Day. Students should have received instructions regarding their E-Learning activities from their classroom teachers. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or building administrator.
We will re-evaluate the situation tomorrow as we make a decision regarding school for Friday. If we are able to return to in-person learning Friday, we will have a full day of school, Friday January 30, 2026 instead of the planned student half day.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your continued support.
Thank you.
