Inclement Weather Policy

ESP INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

“Snow days”

Murfreesboro City Schools Extended School Program (ESP) desires to serve working parents who depend on ESP for 
their childcare needs during inclement weather – snow days.  However, we are aware that there are times when safety 
may cause ESP to adjust its hours or to close completely.

If school opens late, ESP will open at 7 a.m. at your home 
school.  If school is dismissed early because of weather, ESP 
will operate from dismissal until 5 p.m.

If school is closed for the entire day due to the weather, ESP 
will operate at FIVE locations with condensed hours, 
from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Those sites and schools served will be:

Black Fox 
(serving families from Black Fox and Reeves Rogers)

Erma Siegel
(serving families from Erma Siegel, John Pittard and Northfield)

Bradley
(serving families from Bradley, Hobgood and Mitchell Neilson)

Salem 
(serving families from Salem, Overall Creek and Discovery School)

Scales
(serving families from Scales, Cason Lane and Cason Lane Pre-K)

Children must be registered for the current ESP School Year program in order to attend. Changes to the above information such as host sites, times of operation, etc. may be made depending on each individual situation that transpires.  

Registration information and notification is required before attendance.

After children are in ESP, if weather conditions worsen and 
the Director of Schools determines that ESP needs to close 
early, MCS will contact parents and the media.  In addition, 
“School Messenger” will send a message to your phone number on file when there are changes in hours of operation or closures.  The ESP Central Office phone number is 
615-893-2313. 

You may also keep up with notifications via Twitter at @MCScommunicates. 

ESP is open to those families who attend Murfreesboro City Schools 
in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.  A completed registration 
form, registration fee, and health history must be on file.
