Students and staff have been relocated to Magnolia Middle School, the school system said. Parents who can pick up their children early are asked to get them from the middle school as soon as possible.
If parents or guardians are unable to pick up their children, elementary school students will return home on regular bus transportation at the normal dismissal time.
