MCDC Families,

 

With the threat of severe weather on Wednesday, I thought this would be a good time to make sure everyone knows our protocol for severe weather. 

 

In the event of a tornado warning, we will take the children to our protective areas.  The protective areas with phone numbers are listed below.  Once everyone is in their protective areas, the doors will be locked and no one will be able to enter or exit during a warning.  We will not release your child to you if Madison County is still under a tornado warning, even if the arsenal is not at direct risk.  Please avoid coming to the center during a tornado warning.

 

We will only close early if Redstone Arsenal or MSFC closes early.  We do not follow the school systems. In the event of a closure, I will send out an email, post to social media, our website and send out a text alert.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!
