Due to the timing of the approaching inclement weather it may be necessary to dismiss our bus riders a little later than normal this afternoon. As always we want to do our best to insure the safety for our students and staff both on campus and as they travel to and from school. If you choose to pick up your child(ren) early, please do so as early as possible. If we are placed under a tornado warning they cannot be permitted to leave a saftey shelter.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
