Patriot Families,
Due to potential icy conditions, we will delay the start of school by 2 hours tomorrow morning. We are mindful of our staff and faculty who commute from outside of the area, and the safety of our young drivers traveling in these conditions. We encourage parents to use their best discretion based on the conditions in their specific area.
Buses will run 2 hours later than usual, and schools will open 2 hours after their regular start time. Please note that breakfast will not be served.

📌 We are continuing to monitor the weather and are staying updated with current EMA and local forecasts. Because many of our teachers and staff travel from outside the Pike Road area, we evaluate conditions across a wide region when making safety decisions.
You will be notified via email, text messages, and phone calls if any changes are made to the school schedules.
