This is a follow up to communication about dismissal procedures for our middle and high school students and staff.
We will release all middle school students and staff at this time. Because of the delayed release, this will cause buses to arrive at the high school about thirty minutes later than normal dismissal time. However, high school will dismiss on time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.

This is a follow up to communication about dismissal procedures for our middle school students and staff.
At this time, we will delay the release of our middle school students and staff only. We will continue to monitor the weather and will inform you of when we will release middle school students and staff. Be on the lookout for communication for dismissing our high school students and staff.
If a parent wishes to pick up their child, it must be done before a tornado warning is in place. Once students and staff are in shelter, we cannot release them for safety reasons until the warning expires.
