Heat, humidity create dangerous conditions for students, bus drivers

Today, during the time when we would be transporting students home, the temperature ranged from 110 to 120 degrees inside a First Student school bus (please watch the video provided in this newsletter). This extreme heat combined with high humidity makes it dangerous for students and bus drivers. If a heat illness were to occur with one of our drivers, the consequences could be catastrophic. With the safety of our students and bus drivers in mind, we are moving the first day of school to Monday, Aug. 28.

OPEN HOUSES: The Open House events today and Wednesday will be held as scheduled.

SIXTH GRADE ORIENTATION: The Smith-Cotton Junior High Sixth Grade Orientation will still be held Wednesday morning. It ends before 11 am, and the bus routes home will be shorter with no other students on board.

ATHLETIC, ACTIVITY PRACTICES: Practices for Smith-Cotton High and SCJH athletics and activities will continue with changes made due to the heat. See the chart below.

We regret any inconvenience this makes for our district families, but we must keep students safe.
