Good afternoon Chicot families. Out of an abundance of caution, we went on a brief perimeter lockdown this afternoon following a report that gunshots were heard in the surrounding community. Safety and Security conducted an assessment. No threat was identified and we were cleared to resume normal operations.
Families! Friday is the last day to donate items to our Food Drive. We are asking families to donate food. All items are donated to a local organization to serve others.
The winning grade level will get a popcorn party! Kindergarten is leading the competition today. Let's support our community!
