After hearing the county reports and talking to other areas Superintendents, all Bastrop area districts are going to move forward with closure for Monday, January 26, 2026. We have frozen roads across our district and in neighboring districts and believe that our buses and staff will not be safe on the roads. Temperatures will not rise high enough to melt the ice. We will continue to monitor with Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management.
Thank you and Stay Safe and Warm!

Genesis Castillo showed what it means to be a true Bulldog—kind, responsible, and ready to lead! We are so proud of you!
Mcdade ISD Guardians and Community:
With the approaching winter weather event, MISD officials will continue to closely monitor the local forecast over the next few days and work closely with Bastrop County Emergency Management to determine if changes to our normal schedule will be necessary.
Any school closure or delayed start announcement for Monday will likely be made by early Sunday afternoon. We want to allow enough time for parents and district employees to plan accordingly. At the same time, we will gather as much information as possible and try not to announce too early.
All District Athletics events have been canceled due to the weather.
As always, we will take every precaution in the interest of safety for our students, employees, and Guardians.
Please stay safe and warm!
