New Procedures for Christmas Parties
To ensure smooth logistics and safety for our Christmas parties, all attendees must RSVP in advance to join the celebration. Late RSVPs will not be accepted, and the deadline to RSVP is Monday, December 16th at 12:00 PM.
This process allows our office staff time to run names through the Raptor System. Even if you have a Fast Pass, you must still RSVP. Badges will be sent home with students in their folders on Tuesday.
Please note that each person attending must submit an RSVP. Thank you for helping us create a safe and enjoyable event for everyone!
We have adjusted instruction on our party day. You may check out your student with their homeroom teacher and it will be excused.

Due to the storm, Caddo Mills Middle School, Caddo Mills Intermediate School, and Lee Elementary are experiencing partial power loss. This outage affects our air conditioning, internet access, and some classrooms. Griffis and Caddo Mills High School have not been affected by the power loss.
We thank the cafeteria staff for responding quickly to ensure that all students have been fed.
Due to the outage, parents can pick up their students early today. Standard bus schedules and typical afternoon dismissal procedures will be followed if you do not pick up your child.
