Due to a shift in the storm this morning, the National Weather Service is advising that the safest window to release students is between 12:00–1:00 p.m.

As a result, we will have an early dismissal today at 12:10 p.m.

Please note that bus transportation will not be available this afternoon. Families will need to arrange pickup for students. Early pickup is allowed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
John Baggett
