WEATHER ALERT
The National Weather Service has issued another strong wind advisory for Friday, January 12. 
The latest forecast predicts wind gusts up to 50 mph beginning at 1:00 p.m.
Due to this advisory - District Five will be operating on a half day schedule tomorrow. All elementary schools will dismiss at 11:00 a.m.
**Students will be offered a bag lunch when they leave school!**
We understand that this may cause an inconvenience for our parents and families. However, the state of SC mandates that school districts keep school buses off the roads when sustained winds are forecasted for 30 miles an hour and gusts exceed 40 miles an hour or more. 
Also, conditions could potentially not be safe for our student drivers after 1:00 p.m. 
Parents who transport your children, please plan to pick up students at these times, so our faculty and staff can travel home safely.
All after school activities and events are also canceled for tomorrow.
We are monitoring the National Weather Service and local forecasts, and should conditions change, we will let our staff, parents and families know as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as safety is always our top priority in District Five. #WeAreD5
