South Panola School District would like to inform you that an important safety drill will take place in the parking lot of Dunlap Stadium on March 6th at 9am. This drill is designed to educate students about the dangers of drinking and driving and will involve various emergency response vehicles, including helicopters, fire trucks, ambulances, police vehicles, and county emergency vehicles.
Please note, this is a drill only. There will be no real emergency taking place; however, the presence of these vehicles and the simulated emergency situation may be alarming to some. The purpose of this exercise is to provide hands-on learning experiences that demonstrate the serious consequences of impaired driving. We hope this drill will leave a lasting impact on all who participate and witness it.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. The drill is a controlled and carefully coordinated exercise aimed at educating and raising awareness.


We are actively monitoring the weather as it develops, and according to the latest radar, the worst conditions are expected to occur around dismissal time. As a precaution, we may delay bus departures until the weather clears to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Please know that the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we will keep you updated with any changes to our dismissal plans. Thank you for your understanding and support. #SPfamily


Parents,
Due to weather and safety concerns, after-school tutoring and intramural sports will be canceled for Tuesday, March 4. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
