Dear Parents, the cold weather is here. I highly recommend dressing your children for the cold and make sure they have a coat. We try to get kids outside as often as we can when the wind chill is in the mid to upper 20s. The other thing we have to prepare for is unexpected fire alarm evacuations. I have only had to evacuate unexpectedly a few times in my career, but when it happens we have to remain outside until the fire department clears us to return. This is a friendly reminder to make sure we are all prepared for the unexpected. Mr. Proffitt

District wide dental screenings will be completed Tuesday 11/15 and Wednesday 11/16. Screenings will be based on your selection at enrollment. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your student's school nurse.
