We are excited for tonight’s performance and hope you will be able to join us in supporting our talented students! Today is the final day to purchase pre-sale tickets before this evening’s show. Tickets may be purchased at the Welcome Center box office, located at 609 South Main Street, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM; over the phone through the Performing Arts Center during the same hours; or by using the ticket link previously shared via School Status or Facebook. Ticket sales at the Performing Arts Center will reopen at 4:30 PM and continue until showtime. However, please note that at a recent performance at our sister school, the start time was delayed by approximately 10–15 minutes due to a high volume of last-minute ticket purchases. To help ensure a smooth and timely start, we strongly encourage you to purchase tickets in advance whenever possible. Thank you for your support—we look forward to a wonderful evening!

Good evening. Spring has sprung and the late night baseball has arrived. Now that that the time has moved ahead, we are seeing lots of cars coming in later each morning. Please remember that students must be in their classroom by 7:30 each morning in order to be counted present on time. We have given a brief grace period while we all adjusted to moving our clocks forward, but once the bell rings tomorrow at 7:30 you will have to come in and sign in tardy. Thanks for helping us correct this.

WEATHER UPDATE: Polk School District will open with a two-hour delayed start on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. 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 by 2 hours from their 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.

Please ensure all students are dressed warmly for tomorrow's frigid temperatures. Wear layers, hats, gloves, and scarves.

We appreciate your continued understanding and support as we take these precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff during these extreme cold conditions.
