USD 379 Families,
Last night’s rain has compromised the basement area at Garfield Elementary, which is also a shelter in the event of inclement weather. We don’t normally close school based on forecasts, as we feel our students and staff are very safe in all of our buildings. However, in this case, we would need to transport students to other buildings, which is impractical and unsafe. We also utilize the same buses within multiple buildings for after-school transportation, which makes dismissing just Garfield impractical.
Because of this, USD 379 will have a 1 pm dismissal today.
Lunch will be served as usual. All after-school sports practices and evening activities, including Project LEAD, have also been canceled. No afternoon preschool. Please call the school with any changes to your child’s after-school schedule.
Today was the last day of Mrs. Schooley's PartnerED grant program, which brought in Mr. Phil Bone, Design and Pricing Manager at Wardcraft. He has provided so much expertise and support this semester, as her students switched to using the industry-standard software, Revit. He also showed the students how to personalize their designs with Twinmotion and make realistic renderings! This information will continue to be used throughout the years as Mrs. Schooley's classes make designs and renderings of future Tiger Houses. #Celebrate379
On School Nurse Appreciation Day, we recognize these three ladies who go above and beyond to help our kids! By the way, this is more than 60 visits per day on average! #Celebrate379

As part of the new USD 379 PartnerEd grant, Double L Manufacturing owner Thomas Mulligan has spent the past two days with Mr. Craig's welding students. It's not just about teaching technique and tricks of the trade. The group is working together to build a 16x8' billboard that will be used to promote Clay Counts Coalition activities and prevention information. This billboard should be up soon, thanks to the hard work of Mr. Mulligan, Mr. Craig, and these students!

Today, on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, we celebrate the incredible school bus drivers of USD 379!
