This is a friendly reminder that there will be no school this Friday, March 29th. Also, if you know of anyone living outside of the district who might be interested in enrolling in Cave City next year, please advise them that the school choice deadline is May 1. Forms are available in all offices. Turning in a completed form does not obligate you if you change your mind. We would love to have those who are interested, to join our school family next year!
The Arkansas State Board of Education granted our waiver request to extend our days beginning Friday, March 1st. This will allow us to make up three of the five days we missed due to the weather. Bus routes in the morning will not be affected. By absorbing some of the minutes during our current school day, we will now only need to extend our day by 12 minutes. Please be mindful of students arriving home later beginning March 1. This will allow the district to end school on May 24th, while still taking off March 29th ( Good Friday) and April 8 (Solar Eclipse). Spring break is March 18-22.
Cave City schools will run bus routes on pavement again tomorrow and will use driver discretion on non paved roads. Conditions continue to be unsafe on some of our non paved roads.

Friends. Our back roads are still pretty bad in many spots. But our main concern is the increased probability of freezing rain at some point tomorrow. Currently, some forecasters have us getting almost a quarter of an inch of ice before the front “hopefully” turns to rain. With all that, we are canceling school tomorrow along with many other schools in our area. Hopefully we will return Tuesday

We ask parents to be aware of this possibility and to make preparations in case we need to dismiss. Also please be mindful of students who drive as we may release them prior to busses to ensure their safe travel directly to their home. For parents who need to, we understand if your situation requires you to keep your student home today due to the uncertainty. We appreciate your support and understanding.
