Savannah Middle School

A few last-minute bus additions have prompted an updated bus route list. Your child’s route should be the same but times may have changed. Please check the updated list found here on our website. Remember to give extra time for bus routes this first week of school as students and riders learn their routes. https://www.savannahr3.com/page/back-to-school

All campuses will be closed this morning so that our staff can participate in training. If you need help with anything please call after 1 pm. Thank you for understanding as we prepare to serve our students and families.

Bus Routes are now available on the district website under the back to school button. Please call Durham bus services with any questions. As a reminder, times are an estimate for the first 2 weeks. Plan for delays as our students and drivers learn the routes. There are no drop off times listed. Please expect your child any time after school dismisses. https://www.savannahr3.com/page/back-to-school

We have have been made aware of rumors surrounding tonight's middle school dance. No credible threat has been identified but local law enforcement has been contacted and will be present at the middle school this evening.

The fire alarm at SMS is believed to be a failure in the system - not a real credible fire. Students and staff have been evacuated until we can be certain the building is safe.

*Update* There was a malfunction with the fire alarm system at SMS. The building has been cleared and students and staff are being allowed to return.

The fire department is on scene at SMS. At this point, we do not believe there is a fire (just a false alarm). However, students and staff have been evacuated until the building has been checked. More information will be shared once the issue is resolved.

**Calendar Change** Friday, April 15th will now be a NO SCHOOL day, not a 2 hour early release. Please update your calendars accordingly and plan to enjoy a long weekend! #WeAreSR3
