The Food Service Program will be suspended this week due to the impact of the flooding in our community. It is our plan to reimplement the program next week, but an assessment of many things needs to take place in order to do that. We will send out additional information once we know more.

It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to our Mustang Families. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. There are shelters in the area at Coleman High School, Bullock Creek High School, Midland High School, West Midland Family Center and the Midland Mall. At this point, we are suspending all learning until further notice. Please stay safe. I have great faith that this community will pull through this.
