Update: While there is damage across district facilities, we are very grateful to report that no students or staff were hurt on our campuses.
For everyone’s safety, we ask that the public please stay off all school property while crews begin cleanup.
District staff may access the South Elementary building if needed.
Our goal is to resume school on Tuesday, and we will keep families updated as we continue assessing conditions.
We also recognize many in our community may be dealing with damage at home—our thoughts are with those families during this time.
Thank you to our maintenance team, cleanup crews, and electric company for their quick response. We appreciate the community’s support and will share updates as more information becomes available.

Ms. Lane’s first grade class at North Elementary celebrated the 120th day of school in a BIG way—by reading 120 books! 📚🎉
#WildcatTradition #Reading #FirstGradeFun

Mrs. Parker’s class, along with several other classes at North Elementary, recently learned about the life cycle of a chicken and how to care for them after they hatched last week. #WildcatTradition #HandsOnLearning










Miss Lane's class made the most of our short power outage at North Elementary with some flashlight reading! #WildcatTradition #ReadingFun



We’re pleased to share that power has been restored at North Elementary. Thank you to our staff for their flexibility & help to ensure minimal disruption to the start of the day.
We have been told by the electric company that power should be restored by 8:45am. We will provide another update once power has been restored.
Currently North School is without power, but we are working with electric company to get a time frame of when it will come back on. Breakfast is ready for students to eat and staff is ready to receive your students. We will update when we know more information.
