McCracken County Schools will be in session, on February 19, 2024, and March 15, 2024, to make up two snow days. Our school district missed a total of four days in January due to inclement weather. The 2023-2024 school calendar will be reduced two calendar days so students will not make up the other two snow days. Non-traditional instruction (NTI) days will be used for any additional full school days missed going forward.
With additional snowfall this morning and snow predicted for the next few hours, McCracken County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 19. Friday will be a normal Snow Day.
Due to continued hazardous road conditions, McCracken County Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 18. Thursday will be a normal Snow Day.
Just a reminder that buses don’t just travel major highways, they travel rural roads all over the county. Some of these roads are less traveled and take longer to be safely driven on. Also, the National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Thursday at 10:00 a.m. through Friday at 9:00 a.m. with freezing rain becoming a concern in McCracken County beginning around noon on Thursday. The safety of our students and staff is always our number one concern.
McCracken County Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 17 due to hazardous road conditions. Wednesday will be a normal Snow Day.
Due to hazardous road conditions McCracken County Schools will be closed Tuesday, January 16. Tuesday will be a normal Snow Day.

We are excited to recognizing our December Students of the Month! In December the character trait that our students focused on was "Curiosity". The students selected are always showing a desire to learn more and to ask questions to expand their understanding of the world around them! We are so proud of each and every one of them!!!
Please join us in thanking our McCracken County Schools Board of Education members for their hard work and dedication during School Board Recognition Month. They make our students’ success their priority. Our five Board Members volunteer their time, and devote many hours each month to school board business.
