Welcome to the Grove, Dr. Everette!

Congratulations class of 2024! Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!

Escambia County Public Schools Superintendent Keith Leonard has announced that school start times will be delayed by one hour on Friday, May 10, 2024, due to possible inclement weather in the area.

The National Weather Service forecasts severe weather moving through the area early Friday morning, bringing with it the potential for high winds in certain portions of the county which could impact safe bus travel,severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flash flooding. In an abundance of caution, all schools will start the day one hour later than normal. Morning bus routes will also be delayed by one hour.

Parents should plan to have students at bus stops one hour later than normal, or make plans to drop their children off at schools one hour later than normal. All scheduled before-school activities are canceled.

All employees should plan to adjust their schedules accordingly and arrive at their work locations one hour later than their usual start time.

Lunch service will not be affected. Additionally, schools will dismiss at their normal times.

“We are delaying the start of the school day on Friday with the safety of our students and employees as our top priority,” stated Superintendent Keith Leonard. “Of course, we'll continue to work closely with local emergency operations officials to determine what is safest for our families and staff.”

District officials will continue to monitor weather updates, and members of the community are encouraged to do the same. If necessary, updates will be provided through local media, School Messenger, and the district website.

We are so thankful for our amazing Office Staff!
