With the safety of our students and staff our top priority, we are closely monitoring the severe weather forecast for this afternoon. Based on the timing of the potential impact, Bryant Public Schools will dismiss at the normal times.
If there is a threat of severe weather at dismissal, we will hold buses and student drivers until it is safe to allow them to leave our campuses.
If sirens go off during pick up, we will not release students. A separate space will be provided for parents to come inside the building for safety.
Parents who wish to pick up their students early may do so. Please follow check-out protocols at your child’s school.
Stay safe!
