Friends. Due to the nature and timing of storms which have been forecast for our community this afternoon, we may need to delay our busses leaving at the end of our day. It is possible that our safest option is once again to dismiss a little early but at the moment we do not plan to do so. Though we are currently not under any watches or warnings, Severe weather is expected this afternoon and may be ongoing for quite a while. We will open our Safe Room shortly after our busses run, for our community, including parents who want to bring their child back with them. We again ask that no one bring pets to the safe room. We understand and support any parents who choose to pick up students prior to potential storm development. We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops. Thank you for your understanding and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Friends. Due to the nature and timing of storms which have been forecast for our community this afternoon, we will be dismissing school at 1:00.

We will open our Safe Room at 2:00 for our community, including parents who want to bring their child back with them any time after 2:00. If any parents need to make special arrangements for your child due to not being home at 1:00, please contact us. We also ask that no one bring pets to the safe room. Thank you for your understanding and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Friends. We are aware of the potential for bad weather tomorrow afternoon. We will be feeding lunch early tomorrow in case any parents choose to pick their student up early after lunch. We will continue to monitor the hourly forecast as it develops. It is also possible that we might need to hold students here for a brief time if lightening or high winds are occurring at our normal bus dismissal time. For many of our kids, our school is the safest place they could be. For parents with student drivers, we also understand that some parents may want to sign them out early as well. We hope that our community only gets a Spring rain.
The Food Bank of North Central Arkansas is at Cave City Middle School at least until 4:00 by the baseball fields distributing 110 pounds of shelf stable, fresh, and frozen foods and water. Each household will also receive a $75 gift card courtesy of Walmart. There are no income limits. All you need to do is pull up to the trucks, bring your ID if available, and while they ask a few questions they will load your vehicle.
Friends: The donation center located in the Middle School Gym will continue to be open during Spring Break next week, Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm. This resource is available to everyone in our community and surrounding areas. If your family or someone you know is in need of any food items, hygiene products, baby items, or clothing, please stop by. #CaveCityStrong
Friends. We were so happy to see the majority of our students show up for school today. After visiting with Mayor Anderson and assessing our situation, we are comfortable announcing that we will return to normal operations tomorrow (Thursday). We are excited to have all our students back. Middle school drop off and pick up will take place as it did before. And after school practices and activities will also resume. We do ask that parents of students who were indirectly or directly affected by the tornado let us know so we can excuse your child, and more importantly, so we can offer you assistance. Thank you for your support and understanding. We remain Caveman Strong.
Friends, buses will run tomorrow but please be patient with our arrival times to your bus stop. Traffic will be congested and could cause us to be behind schedule. Those that live in the affected areas of W Center, Christopher, Lile & King St can meet the Flower bus at Curia Creek Apartments around 7:25. Middle School car riders need to be dropped off and picked up at the High School Cafeteria and those students will be shuttled to and from that area in the AM & PM. We understand any parents that keep their children home in an abundance of caution. Thank you for your cooperation and support. We are Cave City Strong!!
Friends. Cave City Schools will be open beginning Wednesday with busses running all routes we can. We understand and support any parents who choose to keep their children home in an abundance of caution. We will be updating our Facebook page and sending additional texts to keep you informed. Tomorrow we will serve meals in our elementary cafeteria to students who can come in. We will also have meals available as “to go” for those choosing not to sit down. And a Google form will be linked on our facebook page for parents who need meals delivered. We will do our best to get them there. Please avoid our MS parking lot and enter at the center of our campus. Thank you! We remain Caveman Strong!
Good morning friends. Let me start by saying that we are thankful that Cave City had no loss of life. Our prayers continue for everyone affected and for our wonderful community as a whole. Our middle school gym will continue to serve as the central hub for relief and recovery. In regards to having school, we have to figure what the right balance is between staying out of the way of clean up and at the same time safely providing for our students and their families as we normally do. They need us to do what we do. But for now, we need to close school Monday and Tuesday to allow recovery to proceed with less interference. This will also give us at least a couple days to figure out how to manage our role at our middle school gym and how we'd manage that with students on campus. We will also consider the benefits of letting our student athletes having some normalcy by playing away games this week beginning Tuesday night. Senior Day at Maxville today has been postponed as well. We hope to be back in school on Wednesday. Thank you all. We continue to be Cave City Strong!

Friends. Forecast models currently have snow arriving in our district by 1:30 pm tomorrow. We will reevaluate the hour by hour forecast before 6 am tomorrow for a possible dismissal if the forecast changes. At this time, please plan on an early dismissal at noon tomorrow. This will allow us to serve breakfast and lunch to our students attending tomorrow. If an early dismissal creates a hardship or if you would prefer to keep your student home we certainly understand. If you receive no further updates by 6 am, please plan on a noon dismissal tomorrow. Thank you for your support and understanding.
Our area is currently under a winter weather warning for tomorrow. Current projections have the likelihood of heavy snow beginning at 3:00 pm with light snow possible earlier. We will continue to monitor the projections and try to give parents as much notice as possible regarding any early dismissal or even possibly canceling for tomorrow. As always, we respect and support your decision to keep your child home in abundance of caution or if arrangements for an early dismissal create a hardship. We will make every effort to have school and feed our kids tomorrow, but the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We thank you for your understanding and support.
Due to excessive rain and flooding conditions there are a few changes to some of our bus routes this afternoon. We will update our Facebook page with that information. Some students may arrive later than usual due to detours around low water crossings as well. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
In an effort to protect the health of our students, staff, and community, we temporarily advise parents to keep sick students home until they have been fever free and symptom free for 48 hours.
Previously that number was 24 hours. This cautionary change comes as a result of the recent rise in illnesses on our campuses. Please contact your child’s campus Nurse with any questions/concerns.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. This measure is only temporary.
