In Reading class, Rankin First Graders are learning about the American Revolution. Today, our little historians had a very special visit from General George Washington. He told the First Graders all about his time as the General of the Continental Army. Mrs. Epperson was so thankful that General Washington took some time away from his troops to enlighten her First Graders. Little Devils love to learn!

“The elementary students started the week back with the kickoff of March Madness! Students will get the opportunity to listen to eight books during breakfast and vote during computer lab to narrow down to the number one book. We want to thank Jimmy (Boo Boo) Armendarez for being the first surprise, guest reader! He did a great job!”

No School Tomorrow, Thursday March 5th
Good Morning Rankin ISD,
When it comes to school closure, I assure you the decision is not taken lightly. There will be no school tomorrow, Thursday March 5th. We waited until this morning to see if the forecast would change any, but the weather is forecasted to be very close to what it was yesterday. The winds will be in the mid 20s with gusts over 30mph, which will cause unsafe travel conditions for a large portion of our students. Closing school is the safest decision we can make at this point. I apologize if this causes any inconveniences.
I would also like to remind you that we do not have school on Friday. Please enjoy your spring break! If you have any questions or concerns, please call me. I am always happy and willing to answer your questions and address your concerns.
Thanks,
Shaye
Due to the weather concerns Thursday, we will run a combined JH and HS meet tomorrow (3/5). We are currently working on a schedule of what this will look like but I anticipate starting the meet around noon for HS and 2pm for JH. Boys golf will still go to Robert Lee.

Dear Rankin ISD families,
First of all, I owe the families who have children that ride the bus to school an apology. I should have made the decision to cancel the bus routes this morning. I apologize for having students on the road during these unsafe conditions due to the high winds.
During times of adverse weather conditions (like today), I ask for your understanding when it comes to scheduled events, such as track meets, golf tournaments, etc. These events could change at any moment, and could change several times throughout the day. Please be prepared for multiple messages like this and to check the Rankin ISD Facebook page for updates throughout the day.
As far as canceling and delaying school or bus routes, it is always a difficult decision. We are required to be at school for a minimum number of minutes/days per school year. We try to set a calendar that has built in extra time, but it still makes that decision difficult. Safety is always our top priority. Instructional time is always a focus as well. Thursday is supposed to be just as bad as today. We are considering options for Thursday right now.
Thanks for your understanding and patience. If you ever have concerns or questions, please call me. My office number is 432-693-2461 and my cell number is 806-496-6913. I would much rather you call me than post things on Facebook. Direct communication is the only way I can understand and fix your concerns.
Sincerely,
Shaye
Good Luck Red Devils!
Just a friendly reminder - Early Release on Thursday.
