A mechanical error with our generator late yesterday afternoon caused poor quality air to be distributed back into the HVAC system in the band and chorus room. Once this was noticed by the classroom teacher, students were removed to an alternative learning area.
Administration was not made aware of this situation until this morning and that is why this message is now just getting sent to you. We at MMS apologize for not informing you sooner and we will work on our protocols and communication.

Mickelson Middle School went into a shelter-in-place for a health emergency on Friday, February 2, 2024. We use the shelter-in-place anytime that we need to keep the hallways clear for emergency personnel, anonymity, giving space, etc. Students at Mickelson Middle School were not in any harm's way. We appreciate how the students and staff handled the event.

Please see the attached information on The Child and Family Resource Network's Common Sense Parenting class being offered in Brookings.

During the 7th period, the fire alarm accidentally went off at Mickelson Middle School. All students and staff were evacuated as this was not a practice drill. Once it was deemed safe to enter all students were allowed back in. Students were outside for roughly 10-15 minutes. 8th-grade students were at lunch during the time and were given more time to eat. Thank you to all of the staff and students who treated this situation with the respect it deserved! Have a wonderful weekend!

Come support the Brookings High School One-Act Play, 7PM January 29th, at the Bell Auditorium!

Reminder that today is a Wednesday, therefore learners have an early dismissal.

Due to the snow day on January 8, 2024, school will be in session Thursday, March 28th as a make-up day.
