We hope everyone is doing well amongst these uncertain times. As well all know, the staff and students of MISD were evacuated due to the Calf Canyon and Hermits Peak Fire. Per NMPED, we are required to offer a learning model as early as next week. The type of learning model is contingent on fire behavior and evacuation status after the upcoming weekend's wind events. We are hoping for the best. In order to create the most effective learning model for our school please complete following survey. The survey is for both staff and students of MISD.
