The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office was on campus today with their K-9. We did go on a soft lockdown to keep students out of hallways while K-9's were working. At no time was there a threat within the building.
Thank you to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office for their work today!
Not the way we imagined our Tuesday to start! If you noticed a flurry of activity and some fire trucks behind school this morning, the Pre-K trailer experienced an electrical issue. Everyone is safe and we are so thankful!

Just a reminder, school is in session tomorrow, Monday, February 10th. This will be a snow make up day.
