Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to inclement weather and hazardous road conditions, Massac Unit 1 Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026. In line with our previous practices, the district will implement an E-Learning Day. Students should have received instructions regarding their E-Learning activities from their classroom teachers. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or building administrator. We will re-evaluate the situation tomorrow as we make a decision regarding school for Tuesday. However, we do anticipate a multiple day school closure at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your continued support.
Thank you.
