Important Update, Hatfield Families – No School on Monday, February 16th!
Mr. Tanksley, our MCS Superintendent, recently submitted a waiver request to the Indiana Department of Education for the snow day we used on January 30th. The IDOE has approved that request!
Because the waiver was granted, we will NOT need to make up that snow day. As a result, school will NOT be in session on Monday, February 16th.
Enjoy the long weekend, Hatfield!
