Parents of McCoy Elementary School
This morning, we confirmed that we have water at McCoy. All students are expected to attend school today. Join me in thanking our Mayor and the Public Service Commission of Yazoo City for working around the clock to resolve this issue. Thank you for your support, cooperation, and patience during this time. Let's have school today!!!
McCoy Elementary Parents
Fortunately, the city worked on the waterline today and returned to the property this evening around 8:00 p.m. to turn on the water to test the fix. Thankfully, we currently have water in the school. We will check the school again later this evening and early in the morning. You will receive another message by 6:15 a.m. in the morning to confirm we will open the school for students. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we thank you for your patience, support and cooperation.
Parents of Yazoo City School District,
The city worked diligently into the night to have water for us at McCoy. However, we discovered more problems this morning. Because there is no water at McCoy, McCoy students will not report to school today. Woolfolk Middle and Yazoo City High students will attend school today. McCoy teachers will report to work as expected.
Please tune in at 6:00 p.m. for the discussion on Chronic Absenteeism featuring MASD, Dr. Deanne Austin, Dr. Marquita Robertson, and Genette Haggie.
