REMEMBER that next week will be STAAR testing on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so the campus will be closed for lunch. No one can eat with students because some students may be testing during that time. We will be open again to parents and grandparents for lunch on Thursday.
March of the Blue will take place as planned tomorrow for K students and senior graduates. The āMarchā will begin at 8:30 on the elementary campus and continue to secondary campus. All are welcome!
Quitman ISD will not have classes Thursday, May 9 due to concern about flooding and continued rain. See Superintendent Turnerās post on the district App and Facebook.
Parents please be patient as we try to get your children home to you. Our buses are on their routes and going slow. We are also making sure there is a parent or an adult home before we leave the students.
Due to flooding QISD will be releasing students early. Parents may begin to pick their students up immediately. Buses will be boarding at approximately 1:30. If there is no parent or guardian at the house the students will be brought back to their home campus. If the bus can not safely get to your house your child will be brought back to their home campus. Parents that normally pick up their children need to pick them up at their normal pick up area.
