Dear MCPSS Parents and Guardians,
Like most of you, I am looking forward to the day when we can welcome our
students back into the classroom. However, Mobile County is experiencing some
of its highest numbers of COVID-19 cases to date, and we as a community must do
what is best for the health and safety of our students, our teachers, other
employees, and their families. That is why we have made the difficult decision
to offer all classes remotely for the first quarter of the school year, which
will begin on September 1.
Please read the attached document, Keeping
Our Kids Safe. This is our plan for remote learning, which will look
different from last spring. Here, we outline our expectations and the support
we will provide for your student and your family during these unprecedented
times.
My hope is that we will be able to return to school for the second quarter,
but that will depend on how the COVID-19 numbers trend in our county. I know
this year will not be easy, but I also know that as #TeamMCPSS, we will work
together to provide the best possible educational experience for your children
during these times.
Sincerely,
Chresal D. Threadgill
Superintendent, Mobile County Public Schools
