I spy one of our itty bitty baby turtles out in the courtyard...just out for a stroll beneath the "Turtle Crossing" sign. The kids love when they can spy a turtle as they walk past this! #ColtsCan

Spalding County is under a severe thunderstorm warning until 4:30 p.m. Buses have returned students to their schools until the storm passes. It is not safe to operate buses with wind above 40 mph and this storm had winds that reached 60 mph. The weather is moving from west to east and the area of high wind is nearing the east side of the county. Once the wind and weather has subsided we will resume bus transportation and notify parents. Thank you.

If you drop off or pick up through our CAR RIDER LINE, please read over the info in this brochure shown in the images. The procedures are in place to protect our students, staff, and families. If you are unsure, please stop and ask a staff member. As always, please remain alert, especially during drop-off and pick-up times.
Side note: the car rider line in the afternoon WILL become faster every day for the next week or so. The beginning of the year is always slower as everyone learns the procedures and routines.
Thanks for protecting our students, staff, and families!
