As our community faces the impact of the Coronavirus, the Alcorn School District wants to be proactive in our response to the virus. Therefore, all of our schools will be closed Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 20th for students and teachers.
All before & after-school activities are canceled, including practices while school is out.
The attachment can also be found on our website at alcornschools.org for more information on the steps we are taking to protect our students, staff, and families.
The health, safety, and well-being of our students are our top priorities.
Thanks for all you do for our students.
Sincerely,
Bill Brand

NOTICE: In accordance to the National Federation of High School Sports and MHSAA, the Alcorn Central Archery season has been suspended until further notice.
We have spent the last several days learning about the coronavirus and its impact. For Alcorn County Schools, that means understanding how it affects our students and employees and then making the necessary adjustments to our schools.
We have one simple objective that guides us: keeping our students and employees safe. This has been at the center of our conversations. With that in mind, we are making some adjustments for preventive measures.
We are ramping up cleaning services at our schools and are adding additional hand sanitizer as well as sanitizing wipes.
We are closely following the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) guidelines and recommendations on the steps we can take to help prevent the spread of the virus. We would like to stress to our students and employees the importance of washing hands and staying home if they feel sick.
