Due to forecasts for continued severe weather resulting in area power outages, and concerns regarding impacts on roads and facilities throughout the evening, Berkeley County School District (BCSD) schools and offices will operate on a 2-hour weather delay on Wednesday, January 10.
There will be no before school care programs, but after school programs and athletics will resume normal operations on Wednesday.
Bus riders will report to bus stops two hours later than their regularly scheduled time. Information concerning school start times and bell schedules when operating on a 2-hour weather delay is available on the BCSD website here: https://www.bcsdschools.net/o/bcsd/page/school-bell-schedules.
District officials are continuing to work closely with the Berkeley County Emergency Management Department, local power providers, and law enforcement to monitor the weather and potential impact on the county. Officials are also receiving regular updates from the National Weather Service.
As safety and security is our number one priority, all decisions are made with the safety of students, staff, and families in mind.
This past weekend we had 17 MMSOA Band students attend the BCSD All-County Honor Band Clinic, participating in both the Junior Concert and Honor Bands. Both groups performed a fabulous concert and had an amazing time playing and performing with other Berkeley county middle school students. We are extremely fortunate to have such talented students at MMSOA!
Students not pictured: Christian Baranov, Carly Bagwell, Camille Meeks, Lucas Reese, Ezra Albright, and Alexander Smith.
