The Tornado Warning has expired and all schools have lifted their SHELTER IN PLACE. Students are returning to learning. Our district has been downgraded to a Tornado Watch until 8:00PM this evening. All afterschool activities have been cancelled for student and staff safety.

We are currently under a Tornado Warning for parts of our district. Please be assured all students and staff are safely sheltered in their designated safe zones, as practiced during our tornado drills at Southside, Bradshaw, Sandy River, River View and Iaeger Elem. ***WE HAVE NOW ADDED Mount View, Kimball Elem, Welch Elem, Career Tech Center, and Fall River. Students are not being dismissed during this warning. No one is allowed to enter or exit the building until the warning has expired. We will notify families promptly once the Tornado Warning has been lifted and students are able to return to regular classroom activities. Please do not come to the school during the warning. This ensures that emergency responders can access the campus if needed and that our staff can focus on student safety. Keep your phone lines open for emergency communications. Avoid calling the school to allow staff to manage the situation effectively. We understand this may be a stressful time, but please know that our primary concern is the safety of your children. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
