Hello, October and cooler weather! With the arrival of cooler temperatures, it is time to begin thinking about our bad weather protocols. These protocols are what we do in case we
have to make any decisions about altering our school day schedule because of the weather. I do not foresee using these protocols in the next couple of days, but I wanted everyone
to be familiar with our processes.

Mr. Blackmon will try to make a decision regarding cancelling or delaying school as early as he can on the affected morning. As soon as a decision is made, we will get the word out
to everyone. We will communicate any school closure through our normal communication methods -- email message, social media, the district website, radio station ( FM 106.3), and
the local media -- Channel 11, 13, and 28.

In reference to our daily bus routes and inclement weather, parents need to be aware that, especially during the morning routes, we could be facing cold weather and bad road conditions.
In the event our drivers are slowed by road conditions, please make sure your kids are not waiting too long outside for the bus to arrive. We will do our best to be on time, but the kids could
possibly be in temperatures that are not conducive for them to be outside, so please plan accordingly. Please feel free to contact the school with any questions or concerns.

The elementary and junior high students are gearing up for the upcoming UIL academic meet which is scheduled for November 9 & 10 in O'Donnell. (Grades K-8) Our teachers have been
working each day selecting teams and getting students ready for their particular event. I will provide more information as we get closer to the contest.

Congratulations to our JH & HS football team on their win against Lorenzo. Also, our JH & HS volleyball team played an exceptional game against Wellman here on Tuesday. Both games
went down to the wire. Good luck to both teams on their upcoming games.

Reminder:
HS Volleyball will battle Klondike here at 6 pm tonight. (10-1)
HS Football will face off against the West Texas Tornados tomorrow (10-2) at 7pm at home.
Pink Out Pep Rally will be in the old gym at 3:30.
