Masks Requirement for All Buildings Through October 8

Thank you for your cooperation, and for helping keep the students and staff of our school district safe and healthy. A decision will be made about masks on October 8th, and will be shared with families at that point.

The requirement for students and staff in all buildings, Elementary, Middle School, and High School to wear masks when indoors has been extended through October 8, 2021. This is being done in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID in our schools and community, due to a large number of cases in our community and county at this time.

Our goal is to keep kids in school five days per week, and masking allows us to not quarantine close contacts that occur in the classroom setting.

Fire Safety Week

We are excited to announce the first week of October is Fire Safety Week, and we will be having several activities to promote fire safety with our students.

Students are invited to take part in a fire safety poster contest. Students may create a poster, following the parameters on the Student Poster Contest Rules.

Click here specific details about what families can do to promote fire safety in your household, and for poster contest rules.

Posters must be turned in to homeroom teachers by

Friday, October 1. Winners will be announced at our Fire Safety Assembly, sponsored by the Minford Fire Department.

New School Communication System

We are excited to announce that we will be switching to Remind to send out all school and district communications in the near future. This will replace the old system of dialing and sending automated calls. This is mostly a Text Message only system, except for Emergency calls, it can call landline phones with an audio call. We have many of our parents' cell phone numbers in our system, but not all. We will be sending out test messages in the next few days. If you did not receive the message, then we do not have your cell phone number as a primary number in our system. You can visit our Remind portal to manually sign up for messages from a specific building or contact your school's office to update them with your latest cell phone number.
