Dear ,

As Superintendent, I must make all decisions with the safety and well-being of our students and employees in mind. We all know and recognize that weather conditions can be unpredictable and forecasts may change quickly.

After careful consideration of the latest weather information and the potential for inclement weather in our area, I cannot risk anyone’s safety, as again, the weather conditions currently remain extremely unpredictable. Therefore, all Mobile County Public Schools campuses and offices will be closed on Friday, October 9, 2026. I completely understand that closing schools can create challenges for families, and I do not take that impact lightly.

I appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigate circumstances that are ultimately beyond our control. Please continue to monitor official MCPSS communication platforms for any additional information or updates.

Sincerely,

Chresal D. Threadgill
Superintendent
Mobile County Public Schools

Today Ms. McMillian’s 4th grade mathematicians put their teamwork skills to work! Her students worked in groups to create their own math problems using multiplicative comparisons.

They had to think like mathematicians, explain their reasoning, collaborate with their teammates, and make sure their problems actually made sense.

🐳Today, our Whitley Whales had an exciting visit from Green, “The Science Machine,” with Science for Everyone! Students experienced an engaging, high-energy S.T.E.A.M. presentation designed to make science fun, interactive, and accessible.

A huge thank-you to Science for Everyone for helping us make learning come alive! ♥️

Mrs. Hall’s 3rd grade Whitley Whales put their writing skills to work during classroom counseling with “My Anger Buttons.” Students identified the people, situations, and experiences that can trigger their anger—and learned that recognizing what “pushes your buttons” is the first step toward managing your reactions and maintaining self-control.

97% AND RISING! 🌊🐳

Way to go, Whitley Whales! Today we reached our BEST ATTENDANCE DAY YET—97% of our students were at school! 🎉

We have just 3 MORE DAYS remaining in our 20-Day Attendance Period, and every single day counts!

This is a critical attendance period because our attendance helps determine funding and resources for our school, including staffing, classroom support, and other student needs.

Let’s finish STRONG! We can do this!
❤️ Every Whale. Every Day. Making Waves the Whitley Way! 🌊
