Transportation Update: Good evening parents, all buses that were delayed have completed their final routes.
Dear parents,
Due to lightning within 10 miles of our schools during elementary dismissal, buses will be running late for middle and high school students.
Please check your school's website for updates.
We are no longer in Shelter in Place. School is resuming as normal.
MVLA is currently in Shelter in Place due to lightning! If we are still in place during pick up, please drive into the parking lot for pickup as usual, but DO NOT pull up to the cone AND DO NOT get out of your vehicle. As your vehicle gets to the front door of the school, a staff member will get your name, call your student and send them directly to your car. This will allow for your student to walk approximately 15 feet from the door to your vehicle. If you do not want your student to be dismissed to you, please do not get in the pick up line. Call and let us know if you intend to wait until the shelter in place is lifted.
Shelters in place for lightning we must "return to normal activity only be made once the weather system has clearly passed form the area, typically no lightning strikes within 10 miles have occurred within thirty minutes."
