Dear Parents and Guardians,

We want to provide clarification regarding today’s two-hour early dismissal notification.

At the time the message was sent, US Cellular was experiencing a service outage affecting parts of North America. Because of this outage, some families who use US Cellular as their mobile provider may not have received the text alert or may have received it later than expected.

This issue was outside of our control and impacted SMS text alerts to US Cellular users.

Other mobile carriers were not affected.

We understand how important timely communication is, especially for schedule changes, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as needed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Greene County Community School District.

Earlier this afternoon, presenter Robert Hackenson Jr. worked with our 2nd-4th grade students, talking about healthy ways to handle emotions, stress, and conflict.

Tonight’s session is designed for parents and families and will cover:
- How to coach kids through conflict, Conversation vs. debate
- What bullying and cyberbullying are (and aren’t)
- Warning signs to watch for
