Today a STAY INSIDE safety protocol was implemented at all of our schools in response to heavy police presence near Reavis Elementary School. This procedure has been lifted as the police vacated the area; however, students will remain indoors the rest of the school day as a precaution. Dismissals will proceed as normal with administrative and police presence (uniformed and/or undercover) at our buildings.
Please be reminded that all students have a noon dismissal tomorrow (Wednesday, January 31) for school improvement. Our offices will close at 12:30 PM in order for all staff to participate. You are welcome to contact the office of your child's school with any questions.
