IMPORTANT! Based on conversations with our Local Emergency Management office regarding the potential for severe weather tomorrow, Tuesday, January 9, including flash flooding and high wind gusts, Polk School District is delaying school two hours to allow our bus drivers/riders and student drivers to navigate their daily routes in the daylight. We apologize for any inconvenience but will always make decisions in the best interest of our students and staff, keeping safety our first priority. Thank you for continuing to support us in our efforts.
Time Change Examples include:
If your bus picks you up at 6:45 on a normal school day, they will pick you up at 8:45.
If you normally drop your child off at 7:15, you will drop off at 9:15.
If the tardy bell rings at 7:35 daily, it will ring at 9:35. Dismissal times will remain the same.
