After assessing bus routes today, we found that while our majority of our roads are in excellent condition, several challenges remain, including low-hanging tree limbs and multiple parked cars in cul-de-sacs and turnarounds. To ensure the safety of our students and drivers, we believe it would be beneficial for drivers to complete their routes after daylight hours. With the expected sunshine tomorrow, we anticipate more melting to occur, further improving turnaround conditions.
We kindly ask that, if possible, keep cul-de-sacs clear of cars to help our buses navigate turnarounds safely.
Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to seeing our students tomorrow morning!

Dr. Willie Foster
Superintendent, Spencer County Schools
Due to current impact of the winter storm, all Spencer County Schools, Tiger Cub Village, and our Central Office will be closed tomorrow, January 6, 2025.
As a reminder, tomorrow was already designated as a District Professional Development Day for staff, so no classes were scheduled for students.
We will continue to monitor the stormโs impact, including potential power outages, and will make a decision regarding school for Tuesday, January 7, 2025, as soon as possible.
๐๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐:
District administrators are closely monitoring the potential for winter weather Sunday through Monday. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority when making decisions regarding school closures.
Below are the possible options we may consider in the event of winter weather:
โข ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฒ: School is closed, and no instruction takes place.
โข ๐๐จ๐ง-๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐ฒ: Students participate in learning remotely from home.
โข ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ: School start times are adjusted to allow roads to improve.

Now is an excellent time to review our NTI plan and ensure students have the resources they need to participate successfully in remote learning. Families are also encouraged to have an alternative plan in place for childcare in the event school is closed.
We will continue to monitor the forecast and will communicate updates as soon as possible through our usual channels.
TIS THE SEASON AT SPENCER COUNTY EARLY LEARNING CENTER!
Last week our 8th grade class from SCMS, as well as a small group of 9th grade students from SCHS, visited the Shelby County Area Technology Center (ATC) to learn more about the schoolโs career pathways opportunities. These high-demand pathways include areas such as pre-nursing and dental, welding, machine tool, industrial maintenance, automotive and diesel technology, business and information technology (IT).
Mark Your Calendar! If you and your student are interested in learning more, make plans to attend the Shelby County ATCโs Open House on January 16, 2025 from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
