Bus Update: Mr. Gray’s Route will pick-up and drop off Duncan students at Lone Star for the rest of the week. AM 7:00-7:10 and PM 4:20-4:30. All routes will be evaluated again on Sunday.

Due to rain there will not be bus pick up in Duncan on Wednesday, the pickup will occur at Lone Star from 7:00-7:10. No other route changes are being made.

Wear your crazy socks on Thursday and support World Down Syndrome Day!

March 19th - UPDATE Shelby-Rising City Schools will resume normal operations on Wednesday, March 20th. All students will attend school on the Shelby campus. There will be regular pick-up at Pawnee Park in Columbus. Routes for Tony Hernbloom (Dragon) and Susan Doehling (Cow) will stay with the location pickup and drop-off plans for the remainder of the week as was released on Sunday. We are monitoring road conditions near Duncan (Chicken Bus). We will drop off at AJ’s as planned tonight, but please pay attention to announcements that may come out this evening. A reminder that Wednesday, March 20th is a full day of school, the early dismissal was cancelled. I want to encourage all parents/staff to download our mobile application. This is the best way for us to get detailed information out. We will be phasing out school messenger, so only parents or immediate guardians will be receiving phone messages when that happens. If you have extended family or others who need school information please have them download our school application in the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. If you don’t have a smart phone we will still send you text messages and phone calls if you are a parent or staff member. The new District website will be tied to the mobile application and will have the same information available.

Please read the statement for information on busing, attendance centers, and other adjustments due to road conditions at http://www.shelby.esu7.org/assets/marchplan.pdf or on our school facebook page and mobile application.

The District will have several official briefings today and then hold an emergency planning meeting at 4:00pm today (Sunday) to discuss plans for the District moving forward. This only pertains to students/staff in Duncan and Columbus, however, the decisions will impact our entire school. All other areas of the District are safe for travel to/from school. There will be an official release of information this evening.

I want to extend my heartfelt thoughts and concerns for those families impacted by the flooding in the area and recognize that we may have families who have much bigger priorities right now. Our District will have school on Friday, March 15th and we realize that many of you near Columbus and Duncan may not be able to attend. Please contact the school in the morning and notify them of the absence, this also allows us to check and be sure all of the families in our school are safe. We will run alternate bus routes due to the condition and uncertainty of the county roads. We are unable to run bus routes to Duncan or Columbus, here is the morning pick-up schedule: Darrol Gray (Chicken) - 7:25 to 7:30 Lone Star Jon Rasmussen (Horse) - 7:25 to 7:30 7-Mile Restaurant Tony Hernbloom (Dragon) - Regular Pickup Times in Rising City Plus extra pickup at Cornerstone Bank in Rising City from 7:25 to 7:30 for those coming in from out of town. Susan Doehling (Cow) - Cornerstone Bank in Rising City from 7:25 to 7:30 and then regular pickup times in Shelby. Drivers will wait as long as possible to ensure everyone is picked up. You may drive your students to school yourself or exercise the right to keep them home since some road conditions may not have improved as much as others. Absences are not waived and students should make arrangements to get work digitally if at all possible. The after school schedule will be sent out during the day on Friday.

Shelby-Rising City Schools will be closed on Thursday March 14th due to road conditions, flooding, and predicted weather.
