Parents/Guardians,
With the expiration of the Tornado Warning, buses are resuming their afternoon routes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

3:43 PM
Parents/Guardians,
Given that the National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Warning for our area, we wanted to make you aware that students who are still at school will be hunkering down until the threat subsides. Buses have either stopped or will soon be doing so to shelter students. As a result, buses may be late getting students home. When we receive word that it is safe to begin transporting students, we will do so.

As in past years, when we transition to a new parent-school communication system, there are some hiccups that we have to work out. We apologize for any inconvenience this creates.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.
