Dear Parents and Guardians,
This afternoon, a construction crew struck a water line at our Elementary campus. Despite efforts to repair the damage quickly, we are unable to restore service for school tomorrow.
Therefore, there will be no school on either campus on Friday, October 3, 2025.
Here are important updates regarding upcoming events:
• Parade: The parade will continue as scheduled.
• Groundbreaking Ceremony: The ceremony is canceled at this time and will be rescheduled for a later date.
• Football Game: We do plan to play the football game Friday evening as scheduled.
Our ANC students will attend college classes and transportation will be provided.
We apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience this may cause your family. Please know we have been working diligently to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support.
Sincerely,
Matt Wright
Superintendent

Indians fans,
If you are attending the junior high football game tomorrow night in Manila, please be aware that the bridge on Highway 77 at Athelstan is out and the road is closed.
To avoid the closure, take Highway 136 through Etowah. When you reach Highway 77, turn left. This route will bypass the bridge construction and take you directly into Manila.
