Lovejoy Community,
We have been monitoring the possibility of extreme weather in the area this afternoon and evening. Out of an abundance of caution, we are canceling all afternoon and evening activities, including all fine arts activities, athletic events, and facility rentals.
All schools and transportation services will continue to operate and release on a normal schedule this afternoon. Our after-school care program will remain open, but will close early at 5:30 p.m. We encourage all parents to pick up their children as soon as possible so that our staff have time to travel home safely.
In addition, there is the possibility of extreme weather during afternoon dismissal. Each campus may have a slightly different response to how dismissal is handled, depending on the specific weather conditions they are experiencing at that time.
Please know if it becomes necessary, your campus may keep students inside the building or hold buses until the worst of the weather passes in your area. It may not be possible for your campus to send out a mass communication at that time as their focus will be on keeping students and staff safe.
Please be patient with dismissal lines and our bus routes as we will do our very best to keep all our students safe and secure this afternoon.
We thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to monitor the weather conditions and consult with local emergency personnel.
