Safety and Security Communication
We always try to keep our families up to date on information as we learn it. Sometimes the speed of social media travels much faster than the time it takes to conduct an investigation. We want to ensure that the information we share with you is accurate as we work with our law enforcement partners.
Website: Pop ups will appear on our websites to alert visitors about vital information. They will be used to announce weather delays, special events, calendar reminders or other emergency information.
Social Media: We utilize our Facebook page, and Instagram accounts for news and stories about and for our MMSD community. This includes district weather and safety information. School specific social media is utilized for safety and security only for school specific updates.
