Friends. This post is to make you aware of how quickly our law enforcement acts on our behalf. State police alerted local and county officials of a Snapchat post that was made related to Cave City Schools. Within two hours of our being notified, the person responsible has been identified and turned over to independence county prosecutors. This person was not enrolled in local school systems and admitted to making the post without any true intent to do harm. We want to thank the Arkansas State Police, Sheriff Shane Russell (who took the call from ASP), and especially Chief David Edwards, and Sheriff Shawn Stephens and his officers for investigating and resolving this so quickly. We appreciate all law enforcement for their immediate response to any concerning social media post whether credible or not. On behalf of all local schools, we thank you!

Thank you again for your support and your calls. We appreciate your concern for our students, staff, and community.

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
