Mt. Vernon-Ruth Elementary School News

Rutherford County Schools will be closed for students today, with an optional teacher workday for school employees.

As part of our continued commitment to transparency, we are sharing the transition timeline for the closure of Mt. Vernon-Ruth Elementary and the Rutherford Opportunity Center. This outline provides key milestones and supports to ensure a smooth and student-centered transition.

We are so excited to welcome everyone to Kindergarten Orientation this week!

Roadways across the county are in good condition following yesterday’s light wintry precipitation. Rutherford County Schools will operate on a regular schedule today, Thursday, February 20. As always, please exercise care on area roadways.

Please visit the PowerSchool site for more details.

Many secondary roads across Rutherford County remain covered in packed ice following Friday's winter storm, and black ice will form on others as wet road surfaces refreeze overnight tonight. Overnight temperatures are not forecast to climb above freezing until around 10:00 AM tomorrow morning.

Given those travel conditions, Rutherford County Schools will observe a remote learning day for students and an optional teacher workday for school employees on Monday, January 13, 2025. Remote work is authorized for eligible employees in accordance with local policies 7503 and 7550.

Take care, and please be safe if you travel tomorrow.
