Due to the extremely low and dangerous temperatures forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 21 and 22, McMinn County Schools will be closed. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our number one priority. Low temperatures combined with the wind chill pose significant challenges for students waiting outside on busses, as well as the operation of busses and our buildings.
We encourage all of our families and staff to take any and all measures to stay warm during this time of extreme weather.
We've made a combined list of All.the.things!
