Severe Weather Protocol

MCDC Families,

It  looks like we may be facing some possible severe weather Thursday (tomorrow 2/17/22).  Please review our severe weather procedures and keep a close eye on the weather tomorrow.  Be sure that you have your notifications turned on for Brightwheel  and you check your email periodically.  Please also sign up for text alerts (Text @mcdcf to 81010).

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 if Redstone Arsenal or MSFC closes.  We do not follow the school systems. In the event of a closure, I will send out an email, post to Brightwheel, post to social media, our website and send out a text alert.  We will try to give as much notice as possible in the event of an early closure; however, please go ahead and have a plan in place so that your child is picked up and out of the  building on time.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
