We would like to inform everyone that our PTO Family Night that was scheduled for tomorrow will be cancelled due to weather and other conflicts in the community. Our Kindergarten Round UP for our upcoming 2025-2026 kindergartners is still scheduled for tomorrow from 5:30-6:30.

Thursday: We will plan for the normal field day schedule as of right now, but will check the weather first thing in the morning. Parents can ONLY attend the outside events. This includes Top Playground, Bottom Field Relays, and Tug-of-War. Please note that parents will NOT be allowed in the gym or in the building. If you plan to check out your child, Mrs. Dabbs or Ms. Taft will be in the outside area and can give you clearance with an ID and check to make sure you are a point of contact.

We are watching the weather closely to make a decision later today regarding field day.. We have an alternate schedule planned that we will utilize if needed due to rain. We will send out a final decision at 3:30 today so that everyone will know. Regardless, we will still have a field day on Thursday and Friday for our students.

We are monitoring weather for field day Thursday and Friday. We plan to post an update tomorrow morning. If conditions are not favorable we will move what we can inside, but parents will not be allowed to attend if that happens. Again, we will post a definite plan tomorrow morning.
