Good afternoon, Indians! Don't forget to STUDY, STUDY, STUDY FOR UPCOMING TESTS! Also, Homecoming is approaching. We plan on getting information out so that everyone has time to prepare. We will be releasing after fall break. Our Homecoming Bonfire has been moved up to October 7th. Historically, we had our bonfire the week of homecoming, but we have decided to move it to better help everyone prepare, especially those involved in the Homecoming Court. Happening this week: MON:JH Football @ EPC 7:00 WED: Even Period Nine Weeks Test THUR: Elementary Tribe Day, Odd Period Nine Weeks Test, and JH Football v. Cross County FRI: PD (No school for kids)

Tomorrow, there is a chance for significant rainfall and high winds. The forecast shows conditions worsening at 3:00…right at dismissal. Several of the roads around the school can flood. Some of our bus routes could have issues and bus travel in high winds is dangerous. Due to these circumstances, there is a small chance we dismiss tomorrow at 1:30. We wanted to give you an opportunity to make plans based on this information. Our plan for tomorrow is to monitor the weather and make a decision at 11:00 a.m. We will ONLY notify you if we decide to close early. Your children are precious to us. We will always err on the side of caution when it comes to their safety.

With the weather situation for Thursday night looking increasingly worse, the Jr. High football game for Thursday against EPC has been postponed. The game will be made up on Monday at 7:00. There will be no 7th grade game.
