Weather Delays, Closures, and Remote Learning
Moniteau School District is committed to providing our students with the best possible education. We have learned from our experiences over the past few years that our students learn best in an in-person learning environment. In an effort to better support our students, Moniteau School District will use traditional snow days until we no longer have snow days available.
Currently, our snow makeup days are as follows:
- Monday, February 17, 2025 (makeup day for January 6, 2025)
- Tuesday, April 22, 2025 (makeup day for January 16, 2025)
- Monday, April 21, 2025 (makeup day for January 21, 2025)
- Thursday, April 17, 2025 (makeup day for January 22, 2025)
As of Wednesday, January 22, the district has utilized all snow makeup days that were planned in the school calendar. Any additional inclement weather days will follow the Flexible Instructional Day (FID) model.
Please know that the district makes decisions regarding closures and delays with input from surrounding school districts, township and borough officials, school administration, and ABC Transit, Inc.
