The 5th-grade Elementary Band Sign-Up Night will take place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. this evening. The location has been changed to Riddle Elementary school.

In preparation of the repair on the replacement part for the compressor cooling at Williams, Williams Elementary School will dismiss at 12:30 p.m. on both Thursday, August 24th and Friday, August 25th. This is for Williams Elementary School ONLY.
Parents and guardians have been contacted with further details concerning dismissal.
Our primary concern is for the health and safety of our students and staff. The air conditioning at Williams has been functioning at 70% this week. Due to increasing temperatures and the continued delay in the replacement part, we believe early dismissals are the best course of action at this time. We hope this allows ample time for families to plan in advance.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
