State superintendent Eric Mackey announced earlier today the closure of all K-12 public schools in Alabama starting March 18th.

CGM follows suit with MPS holidays and closures during the academic year. MPS will already be closed on Monday, March 16th. Starting Monday, CGM will not have any after school programs until MPS resumes a normal schedule. MPS will evaluate school openings on or around April 3rd.

UPDATE: Governor Kay Ivey cancelled the rest of the current academic school year. School officials should be getting in touch with parents regarding online approaches to finish the remainder of the academic school year. Seniors are still expected to graduate in June.

We will post updates as they become available.
