IMS and Elementary's Have School Monday, November 10; MIHS No School November 10
MISD Communications
Dear IMS and Elementary Families,
On Monday, November 10, MIHS will not have school. School will be held for middle and elementary students on November 10. If a middle school or elementary school student has a class at MIHS, that class is cancelled on Monday, November 10.
The news of staff who crossed professional boundaries and either engaged in or are alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct with a former student is unbelievably challenging for us all, including our staff. We recognize each group needs something different to process, heal, and move forward together.
November 10, sandwiched between the weekend and Veterans’ Day, offers a unique opportunity to step back from the typical school day and give our MIHS staff time and space to reconnect, reflect, and recalibrate. By canceling school for MIHS students, we are affording our MIHS certificated and classified staff to work alongside one another to reaffirm the school culture we all envision.
To reiterate, Mercer Island High School will have a non-student day next Monday, November 10, while elementary and middle school students and staff will have a typical school day.
There will be no school for all students on Veterans Day, which is Tuesday, November 11.
Sincerely,
Fred Rundle
Superintendent
