Early Dismissal

Dear Elementary Families,

In anticipation of the inclement weather forecasted for tomorrow, Friday, January 10, 2025, we will implement an early dismissal schedule to prioritize the safety of all our families. We will follow regular carline procedures and our early dismissal times are as follows:

  • 1st & 2nd Grades: 11:00 AM
  • 3rd & 4th Grades: 11:20 AM
  • 5th Grade: 11:40 AM
We encourage everyone to prioritize safety and make necessary arrangements to pick up their child and ensure their safe journey home. If you feel it is best to keep your child(ren) home tomorrow, please know there will be no academic penalties for their absence. For students attending school, those who have opted-in for lunch will receive a delicious lunch before dismissal. Please note that there will be no after-school care.
 
Our prayers are with each of you for safety and protection during this time. We hope you can enjoy this memorable time with your loved ones. 
 
Let it snow!

Early Dismissal

Dear Middle School Families,

Due to the expected inclement weather tomorrow, January 10, 2025, I want to inform you that middle school students will be dismissed early at 12:25 p.m. I kindly ask that you make arrangements to pick up your child at that time, allowing all of our faculty and staff to return home safely as well.

I understand that everyone’s circumstances may differ. If you feel it is unsafe to send your child to school tomorrow, please know that all absences will be excused. Students who attend will receive lunch before dismissal, and we will still have all eight periods, though each will be shortened. For this reason, there is no need for your child to bring PE clothes. Additionally, please note that after-school care will not be available tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I hope you can enjoy some extra time at home and that you remain safe throughout the storm.

 

In Jesus Christ,

Pattiann Rabb
