We appreciate your understanding and cooperation .

We are closely monitoring the weather this afternoon. In the event of a tornado warning, all students and staff will proceed to our designated storm shelters for safety, which the Office of Emergency Management has confirmed as some of the safest locations in town. We are fully equipped to ensure the well-being of our students, staff, and community. In case of severe weather warnings at the end of school, we will delay student dismissal and bus loading until it is safe to do so. Please do not call or come to check out your child during a tornado warning. We will be safe in the storm shelter and our top priority is ensuring everyone’s safety. If you need a safe place, we will have room for you. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Stay safe and stay tuned for updates on our social media, website, and text messages.
