We received a report that an 18-wheeler hit a pole, causing a power outage at Yocum Elementary and Barton Junior High School. To fix the electrical issue, Entergy has shut down the power in that area. Administrators and teachers are handling the situation well, and school continues to take place. However, if parents or guardians would like to pick up their students, they will not be counted absent for the remainder of the day.
*Power is still on at Yocum Primary.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are NEXT Tuesday from 12:00PM - 6:00PM! Students will not have school. Your student's teacher will be reaching out to you to setup a time to meet.

Every student has a communication folder that goes home with them daily. Please be sure to check your students' folders each night for important paperwork. There is a pocket for papers that need to be returned to school and a pocket for papers that need to be kept at home.
