📚✨ A Publishing Party to Remember! 📚 4th graders in Mrs. Cassidy’s class at Tyger River Elementary recently celebrated a big accomplishment! 👏 After reading memoirs by Devin Scillian, students chose an object and wrote their own “Memoir of…” books. They spent weeks writing and illustrating their stories before celebrating together. 🎉📝 We are so proud of their hard work and creativity! 💯 #WeAreD5

❄️ Weather Update ❄️

All District Five schools will operate on a two hour delay on Friday, January 30. Our inclement weather team spent much of the day evaluating roads in our district, and most main roads are now clear. 👍🏻 Some areas of specific secondary roads still have ice, so we have decided not to send buses down roads we have deemed impassable. ⚠️

If your student is impacted, you will be contacted directly by the Transportation Department.🚌 A two hour delay allows more time for everyone to get to school, and more visibility in the morning.

⏰ Buses will run 2 hours late r than normally scheduled
🏫 Elementary starts at 9:30 a.m. | Middle/high school start at 10:15 a.m.
🚫 There will be no 4K/PCD or morning classes @ RD Anderson Applied Tech. Center

Please be patient and drive carefully tomorrow morning! We appreciate your patience and understanding, as safety remains our top priority! 💙

❄️ Weather Update❄️
All District Five schools and offices will remain closed on Thursday, January 29, due to hazardous driving conditions ⚠️ Thursday will be an eLearning day for all District Five students 💻All extracurricular activities and events are also cancelled.

After continued evaluation by our inclement weather team and school bus drivers, many secondary roads across the district remain covered in ice. While main roads are improving, more than half of our bus routes are still unsafe for travel at this time. 🚌🚗

With below-freezing temperatures expected again overnight, refreezing and black ice remain a concern, and we cannot risk the safety of our students, staff, or families 💙 We will continue to monitor conditions and share any updates as soon as possible! Stay safe! #WeAreD5
