Dear Elm Creek Families,
Due to rapidly deteriorating road conditions, we will have an early dismissal today at 2:15 PM. Additionally, the pep rally is canceled. Please plan accordingly for student pickup or bus route drop off, and drive safely. If you are unable to be home or pick up your younger student for the 2:15 bus drop-off, please contact the office. We are happy to make arrangements for your child to stay with the admin team.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but we believe this early dismissal is necessary to keep our students and staff safe as road conditions continue to worsen. Thank you for your understanding.
