DWMS Gators

Due to significant snow accumulation and safety concerns, students will not report to their school building on 1/7/25. Instead, an AMI day will be used, and learning will continue at home. Prime Time will also be closed tomorrow to allow BSSD staff teams the necessary time to clear parking lots and sidewalks. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your flexibility and understanding.

Giving Gators teamed up with The Cheetah Leaders of Chapel Lakes Elementary to make PB&J sandwiches. Students and sponsors made nearly 700 sandwiches in an hour through the Just a Sandwich organization. Sandwiches were then distributed to members of KC's unhoused community.
