District Weather Update
We are closely monitoring weather conditions for potential storm activity that could impact student dismissal this afternoon.
At this time, we are not planning an early release. However, if severe weather develops, dismissal may be delayed until it is safe. Please note the following:
Parents may pick up their students early if they choose.
Bus routes will not run until the severe weather threat has passed.
Students will not be released to car lines during severe weather conditions.
If severe weather occurs while you are in the car line, we strongly encourage you to take shelter inside the school building until it is safe to leave. A school building is much safer than a vehicle during a storm.
If you prefer to pick up your student later, we will safely supervise them until you arrive.
Thank you for your understanding. Please stay alert and safe.
Do you have historical details, memories, or know of renovations and projects from over the years? We’d love to hear from you.
