Cumby ISD Cancelled for Thursday and Friday

January 8, 2024 – Cumby Collegiate ISD will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th through Friday, January 10th due to the Winter Storm Warning for our area beginning early Thursday morning with the peak Thursday evening into Friday morning.

The National Weather Service is predicting snow accumulations of 2-4 inches and a mix of snow and sleet (1-2 inches) and ice (up to 1/10th inch). With the possibility of road conditions deteriorating throughout the day on Thursday, we do not want to be at school and face hazardous conditions as we head home for the day. The safety and security of all is our top priority.

All extracurricular activities will be canceled for Thursday and those on Friday are pending. If road conditions are hazardous, there will not be any extracurricular activities Friday as well. If road conditions are normal, those activities will proceed as scheduled.

Miller Grove ISD Cancelled for Thursday

January 8, 2024 – Miller Grove Families,

One of my biggest priorities will always be the safety of our students and staff. Reviewing the weather forecast for tomorrow, Thursday, January 9, 2024, it consistently shows that it could be clear at the beginning of the school day, but rain, sleet, and snow are very likely to accumulate throughout the day into our dismissal time. I want to allow families adequate time to prepare for their children.

Therefore, at this time, we have decided to cancel school for Thursday, January 9, including extra-curricular activities for that evening. Since we are not in school on Friday, we will wait until Friday morning to make a decision regarding the evening extra-curricular activities.

At this time, we have the minutes built into our original calendar to cover this change, therefore it will not affect our calendar.

Thank you for continual support of MGISD. Please stay warm and safe in the coming days.

Dr. Linda Rankin

Como Pickton ISD Classes Cancelled for Thursday and Friday

January 8, 2024 –  I am not a weather expert, but those who are predict that there will be rain, sleet, and snow starting just after school starts in the morning. It may do nothing, but the chances are that it will affect our school day greatly and carry over into Friday. I don’t like waiting until the last minute to make decisions about weather when the prediction shows such a great probability. Our two communities have working families who have to plan for the supervision of the children when school is not in session because of their work obligations. I want to make sure they have plenty of time to do that.

Therefore, I am canceling school Thursday and Friday. This includes all athletic activities and other extracurricular events.

We will resume classes as normal on Monday. We have time built into our school calendar for such occasions as this, so it will not affect the calendar in the future. Thank you again for your constant support of our little rural school- the Best in Hopkins County- Five Years in a Row…. 

Sincerely, Greg Bower

TxDOT Crews Responding to Winter Weather

TxDOT Crews Responding to Winter Weather

Jan. 7, 2025 – AUSTIN— Winter weather is bearing down on Texas this January, and TxDOT crews are working throughout the state to help keep roads clear and passable.

More than 1,700 TxDOT employees have braved the bone-rattling, winter air in preparation for the winter storm. As of Tuesday, TxDOT has applied more than 1.3 million gallons of brine to roads in Texas. Brine is the salt and water mixture that helps prevent ice from forming on the road.

TxDOT began pre-treating roads in parts of the state on Sunday, with crews working 12-hour shifts to treat roads throughout the winter event. Of the agency’s 25 districts, 23 of them had pretreated roads with brine as of Tuesday morning. The other two districts have crews and equipment ready to pretreat or support other districts if needed.

The snowy and icy weather could make travel difficult, and it’s important to remember that ice can form even on pretreated roads. If you can, stay home to avoid driving in icy conditions. If you have to drive, give yourself extra time to get where you’re going and give TxDOT crews plenty of room to do their work.

Drivers should also remember to slow down, give other vehicles space, pay attention and check drivetexas.org  for the latest information on road conditions and closures.
