If you plan on checking out your student, please do so through the car line.
Thank you for your patience during this early dismissal.
Westside Elementary and Middle School are currently without power. We are on the phone with Craighead Electric to find out when they can get have it working again. All students are being fed and are safe. More information will come as it is available.
We are also monitoring the weather. Due to the possible weather and the lack of power at those two campuses, an early dismissal is a possibility. Again, more information will be made available as those decisions are made based on the information we receive.

Please make sure arrangements are made for your students as they head home early. If you need to make alternate arrangements, please reach out to your students' building principal.

Parents and Guardians,
As many of you know, we are forecasted to receive some inclement weather tomorrow afternoon around dismissal time that could include high winds and possibly hail. Our number one priority is the safety and security of our students and staff. If needed, we will utilize the safe rooms located at each campus to house our students and staff. In addition, should the need arise, early dismissal will be a possibility as well. Please be on the lookout for updates and news by checking this facebook page and your text messages.
