Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our roads are almost ready, but there are still several gravel and paved roads in the county and several side streets in Metropolis and Brookport that are not safe enough for school bus travel.
Due to hazardous road conditions, Massac Unit 1 Schools will be closed on Friday, January 30, 2026. The district will implement an E-Learning Day. Students should have received instructions regarding their E-Learning activities from their classroom teachers. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or building administrator.
We plan to be back in regular session Monday, February 2, 2026.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your continued support.
Thank you.
