Go to your local fire department for supplies & assistance. Any staff or families that are venturing out can stop by any school except Micaville Elementary & MHHS to leave a message so we know you are safe.

Schools are closed all week. We will give an update by 4pm on Thursday. Staff who are able to safely travel may try to contact your principal or report to Blue Ridge Elementary or Cane River Middle School to help work.

An emergency shelter will be open in the cafeteria of South Toe Elementary school for tonight for anyone that may need assistance.
