🚫 NO SCHOOL for Students
There are still numerous side and neighborhood roads that are unsafe for travel. Crews have been working hard on sidewalks and parking lots, but there is still too much ice. To prioritize staff and student safety, Shuford Elementary will be closed for students tomorrow, Friday, January 30th. This day will not be made up because we have extra hours within the calendar. Additionally, all Kid Connection sites will be closed.
Thank you for your support. Stay safe and warm!

Mrs. Higdon’s kindergarteners enjoyed listening to the story, The Mitten, and brought it to life with a fun, hands-on activity! 🧤📘 Students decorated their own mittens, colored the animals from the story, and created a special craft they can use to retell the story. What a creative way to build comprehension and storytelling skills! 💜
