South Pike County School's number one priority is safety of our students. When bus routes started this morning all roads were clear and no precipitation was falling. However when the weather changed our buses had already picked up students. We felt it was in the best interest of the car riders/drivers to give them a two hour delay start to get here safely. We are sorry for any confusion this caused for our parents/students. If you did not get a notification from this message, please see the secretaries to update your information in our systems. We also post everything on our website and you can receive notifications on your phone directly if you have our SPCSD app downloaded.

South Pike County Schools will be on a two hour delay start time today. We will start school at 10:00 am January 22,2020. The bus routes have already made it safely to school and we will monitor the students until the 10 am start. Be safe today!

There has been a fiber cut this morning which has affected our phone services. If you need to contact a school, please use email until we get this resolved... MES-cathy.brooks@rattlers.org; DES-julie.walls@rattlers.org;MHS-danny.eckert@rattlers.org. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you to our sponsors for your support this season
