In the event of an unscheduled school closing, delay or early/late dismissal it is our goal to notify the community in an efficient and timely manner. This page shows the many ways we use to provide that notification.
In the event there is a need to close, delay, or dismiss the Muscatine School District early, the following news media will be notified….
For more information please refer to the following document (in PDF format) which explains the district’s policy on closing schools.

The school district uses a notification service known as School Messenger to initiate automated phone calls or mass-email messages. A large amount of numbers can be called in a short amount of time. The phone numbers for each student or faculty member are polled from our student database system. It is very important that these numbers be kept current. If you have any questions please call the building secretary where your student attends.
Iowa School Alerts notifies you directly by either email or sms text messaging to your cell phone.
Please read the following document for instructions on how to sign up for this service.
