Our campuses are aware of potential severe weather threatening our area today. We will continue to monitor radar and stay up to date on watches and warnings if they occur. We respect the rights of parents to do what they deem necessary to provide the safest environment possible for their child, which could include keeping them home or checking them out early. We are thankful to have a Safe Room for our elementary and middle school students and plans of action for high school students in their buildings. We may need to delay our busses leaving in the afternoon depending on the timing of storms. We will make efforts to keep you posted on our Facebook page and radio station if this occurs. And also by our texting system. As always, we appreciate your support and understanding.

In response to changes made by the Arkansas Department of Health regarding the quarantine of close contracts to positive covid cases, the Cave City School Board has suspended our face mask policy at this time. ADH no longer has a directive requiring schools to quarantine PCCs unless they actively show symptoms. Positive cases are still required to isolate for 5 days and then wear a mask for an additional 5. We will continue to provide masks for students who choose to wear them and will shall continue our sanitation methods to mitigate the spread of covid 19 and other contagious disease. We currently are aware of one active case in high school. We appreciate your continued support or our efforts.
Cave City Schools will be in session tomorrow. We will try to run our bus routes but each route will be based on that drivers discretion. There are still a few shaded spots on country roads that are unsafe. Our bus shop number is 870-384-0192. We appreciate your understanding.
Cave City schools will be closed tomorrow, February 7th due to poor conditions on many of the country roads in the district. We expect that some of the melting from today will refreeze by morning. Crews are working today to get the campus ready for having School Tuesday and for the Jr High District Tournament which we are hosting tomorrow night. Tomorrow will be an AMI Day.
Cave City Schools will be closed for an AMI Day on Friday, February 4th due to inclement weather.
For clarification purposes, we will use an AMI Day tomorrow and will likely have to use one on Friday as well.
Cave City student drivers will be dismissed to GO HOME today at 2:30. Busses will run at normal time this afternoon. Also, school will be closed tomorrow, February 3rd due to being under a winter weather warning. A determination of whether to come Friday will be made tomorrow.
The Cave City School District will be closed for in person learning this Thursday and Friday. We will be using AMI Days 3 & 4. This morning we had over 300 students absent and at least 20 employees. We understand that closing school puts a hardship on many working families and that students need to be in school. But 25% of our student population is a significant number, not to mention the staffing difficulties we are having. Hopefully pairing these two days with the weekend will give those who are sick an opportunity to heal, and will slow the increasing spread of sickness in our school and community.
The Cave City District added an additional 20 covid positive cases today. As was the case last week, there continue to be many additional absences due to other sickness in the district. We also believe there to be additional positive covid cases in our school population that have not contacted us at this time. Of our new active cases today, one is an employee, and 19 students: 7 HS, 6 MS, and 6 Elem. We will have school tomorrow and busses will run. We will continue to monitor student absences and consider using additional AMI days if necessary. If your student tests positive on an At Home test, please let us know for documentation purposes. We appreciate everyone for your cooperation and your support. We know closing school is a hardship for parents and for students. But the safety of our students and employees may require us to do so if necessary.
The Cave City District currently has 14 documented active cases. We believe there to be additional positive cases in our school population that have not contacted us at this time. Of our active cases, 9 are employees, and at least five students: 3 HS, 1 MS, and 1 Elem. New protocol requires active cases and probable close contacts to isolate/quarantine for five days. If no symptoms are evident on day 6, they may return to the general population as long as they wear a mask for an additional 5 days. We will have school tomorrow and busses will run. If your student tests positive on an At Home test, please let us know for documentation purposes. We appreciate everyone for your cooperation and your support.
