During delayed dismissal all students who ride the bus or walk home will be kept in the school until the lightning has passed.
Also, due to weather, we are canceling today's Good News Club and Tutoring.
Parents are welcome to pick up their students starting now by coming to the office. After 2:55 pm please enter through the office to pick up your students grade Kindergarten through 3rd grade in the library, and 4th through 6th grade in the cafeteria.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these weather-related delays. Your child's safety is our top priority, and we are committed to making informed decisions that ensure their well-being.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
Sincerely,
Sarah Ray
