Miami-Dade County hasn’t felt the effects of a severe tropical storm in years, but the school district can say We Are Ready. M-DCPS will hold an Emergency Preparedness presentation, at the height of hurricane season, to showcase smart-phone applications that will expedite the process of schools getting back to normal and the different ways of keeping parents, students, and staff informed.  Safety is the school district’s first priority and schools will be re-opened as soon as possible after any emergency.
