Announcements
All Families
Watching the weather – We are keeping a close eye on the winter weather expected to arrive this weekend. When determining whether to delay or cancel classes, we carefully consider many factors including the safety of our student drivers, the ability of our staff and parents to navigate safely to school, campus conditions, decisions made by surrounding school districts, and road conditions within the radius of where our families travel. Our goal is always to make the best possible decision as early as conditions allow, giving families as much time as possible to plan. We will communicate via email and text once a decision to delay or cancel classes is finalized.
Campus Beautification – you have probably noticed several landscaping projects underway across campus. We are grateful for the recent designated Lion Fund gifts from a few SACS families which have made these updates possible!
Continuous Enrollment Important Deadline of January 31st – if your student(s) will return for the 2026-2027 school year, no action is required and your spot is secured.
