This afternoon, a false alarm occurred at Coolidge Elementary School when a blue light button was accidentally pushed. Police responded immediately and all students and staff are safe. We apologize for any concern this caused, especially in light of the recent events in Georgia. Our hearts go out to the community of Apalachee High School and we are very grateful for the quick response today by our staff and police. Please reach out to your child's school with any questions.
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We hope all of our students have a great first day. Our offices will close at 12:30 PM this afternoon. Please contact your child's school with any questions.
