Pre-k Fun!❄️

🌨❄️ WEATHER UPDATE 🌨❄️
Polk School District will open with a delayed start on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. The additional time will ensure our buses and facilities are fully operational and warm. This means all bus routes, school openings, and start times will be shifted forward two hours from the regularly scheduled times. For example, a 7:00 AM bus pickup will now be a 9:00 AM pickup, etc. There will be no change in dismissal procedures.
We encourage all students to dress warmly for tomorrow's frigid temperatures. Wear layers, hats, gloves, and scarves. Additionally, we urge all of our bus riders to utilize our Here Comes the Bus app to minimize time outside waiting for the bus to arrive.
We appreciate your continued understanding and partnership as we take these precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff during these extreme winter conditions.
🌨❄️ WEATHER UPDATE 🌨❄️
Due to the State of Emergency now in effect and the uncertainty surrounding the possibility for winter weather conditions to develop during the school day, Polk School District will be closed Tuesday, January 21, 2025, as part of our commitment to ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership. Stay safe and warm.

Happy Holidays from First Grade!
Our students had an absolute blast during the ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman?’ Teamwork Relay in PE! ❄️ This fun activity got everyone moving as they practiced running, taking turns, following directions, and showing great sportsmanship. We look forward to hearing about all of the real snowmen students create!
