March Newsletter

Dear Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break. It is now time for Jr. Pro to get going. We had a wonderful interest again this year with 153 students participating. Games will start Monday, March 12th running through Tuesday, April 3rd. Games will be played on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Report cards will be sent home on Friday, March 23rd. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be on Thursday, March 29th, from 3:00 until 6:00 pm.

We are quickly approaching the TCAP Test. It will be the week of April 23rd through the 27th.

We seem to have already entered the Severe Weather Season. I would like to remind you of our current procedures for lockdown in the event of severe weather:
When the Central Office is notified that tornado warnings are two counties away, schools will go into lockdown and all students will go to the designated safe area. Once in lockdown, students will not be released from the building until the threat of severe weather is passed. While in lockdown, the buses will not run. In the event tornado warnings are issued before buses run in the morning, buses will not run until the tornado warning has expired.
In the event that the K-8 goes into lockdown, telephones will not be answered in the office because all staff will be in the designated safe areas. To review these procedures further, they are located in the Student/Parent Handbook. (next to last page)
