Drop-off Reminder

For SES Elementary pick-up and drop-off, please follow the blue arrows. Please do not drive south on 4th St. off to Wright Ave, instead use either 2nd or 3rd Street. Both of these streets will lead you to the appropriate location to access the pick-up/drop-off line. We will have staff waiting at the elementary loop to assist students entering and exiting your vehicle. Our top priority is student safety.

Let's GO GREEN! Any form that is RED needs to be completed! If you have not yet logged into FinalForms to update and to sign forms, please do so.

3 Hour Delay

As we prepare for the 25-26 school year, we want to inform families that Shepherd Public Schools will now implement 3-hour delays in place of 2-hour delays when appropriate.

Here's how a 3-hour delay will work:

-School Doors Open: 10:40 AM

-Power Announcement Sent: 5:30 AM

-If Conditions Worsen, School Would Be Canceled by 8:00 AM

-Lunch will be provided on 3 hour delays

Please Note:

Sub-varsity athletic events will be canceled on school closing days unless they are part of a combination game with a varsity team. We will begin making decisions about practices, games, and other school activities at 12:00pm. We appreciate your flexibility as we prioritize student and staff safety while maximizing learning time.
