Good afternoon, Hawk Nation! My heart goes out to everyone affected by the tornado on Friday afternoon. I continue to pray for the families who have suffered devastating loss, both property and life. In the aftermath of such a destructive storm, school leaders, faculty, and staff often worry about what course of action to take with the school. After much prayer and discussion, I have decided to close school on Monday and Tuesday this week to allow families and the community more time to focus on themselves and not on school. In collaboration with our wonderful administration, faculty, and staff, the following adjustments will take place for next week.
(PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH)
1. No school on Monday or Tuesday. Students will return on Wednesday for the half day for closure to this school year. They will clean out lockers, desks, etc. PM Preschool will also attend this day.
2. Counselors will be available all day Monday (in-house and Bootheel Counseling) for anyone, adult or student, who needs their services. This initial service will be paid for by the school.
3. Middle school and high school finals are NOT mandatory. They are optional and can be taken on Monday or Tuesday from 8:30 am - 2:00 pm.
4. 8th grade graduation is rescheduled for WEDNESDAY at 7:00 pm (Students arrive at 6:00 pm). They will practice on Wednesday morning at school.
5. The 5th grade celebration is on Wednesday morning.
6. Childcare will be available to the public from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm (no bus transportation).
7. Our wonderful kitchen staff (Aramark) will be providing to-go lunch and snacks on Monday and Tuesday. Look for pick-up times later tonight.
8. Sponsors and/or administration will be in contact with students who need to take Beta tests or EOC/MAP to finish the year.
9. Planned end-of-year athletic banquets will move forward as planned.
The school offices will be open and staff will be at work Monday and Tuesday, 8:00 am - 3:00 pm, for anyone who would like to donate to help the families of our school community.

I have had several people reach out asking how they can help with the tornado damage recovery. If you would like to support them with monetary donations, feel free to email me, and I will work a way around for the school to collect donations and get them to the families. As I learn more about how the community can help our families, I will put out more information on our platforms.
