Mexico Elementary to re-open Wednesday 10/20
October 19, 2021
Dear MACS Family and Community,
Mexico Elementary is OPEN tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021!
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we had to replace the gas line.
Some wondered why we had to close for heating when the weather has been nice. When I made the decision on Friday, the forecast included very low temperatures at night, and without the ability to heat our building, I could not guarantee we would be able to maintain the minimum temperature required by state regulations. I also wanted to give parents and guardians as much lead time as possible to make arrangements for remote learning.
I appreciate your trust in knowing that all decisions are made in the best interest of our students. Have a peaceful evening.
Sincerely,
Dr. Runner
Superintendent
Below is Dr. Runner's original letter from Oct. 15 regarding needed work at Mexico Elementary and a change to remote learning for students and staff because of this.

Dear Mexico Elementary Families,
Due to a heating issue that requires a gas line to be replaced on-site, all Mexico Elementary students and staff will move to remote learning for Monday, Oct. 18 and Tuesday, Oct. 19.
During this time all staff will work remotely, and students will utilize their school-issued laptop for instruction. Teachers will reach out regarding the learning schedule for these days and what time students should sign into their devices.
Please know while our hope is to return to in-person instruction for Wednesday, Oct. 20, we will let you know as soon as possible if construction crews require additional time, and our school-wide remote learning is extended further.
For families wishing to pick up one free breakfast and lunch each day between noon and 1:30 p.m., they can arrange to do so by pre-ordering from our Food Services Manager Brenda Thomas at BThomas@mexicocsd.org or 315-963-8400 ext. 5071. Further information on remote meals can be found via the following link: mexicocsd.org/cms/lib/NY02208579/Centricity/Domain/4/RemoteMealsMexEl.pdf
Should you have a technology issue or question, please reach out to our Family Helpdesk line at 315-963-5815.
Thank you for understanding, and feel free to reach out to your building principal or the district office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Runner
Superintendent
