Cobden Unit School District

Update for today's dismissal: To allow time for student's to safely make it home, school will dismiss at 2:45 today. Buses will run at that time. Stay safe everyone.

Cobden parents and guardians. After a briefing with the National Weather Service, administration has decided to continue to monitor the weather throughout the day. At this point, school will dismiss at our normal times today. There will be no after school tutoring, day care, or any other activities. At this time, we feel that students may be safer here with teachers and staff rather than be home alone. If you feel the need to pick your child up early, please contact the office and follow usual protocols. Thank you and stay safe.

Good evening families, Please be aware that potentially severe weather is forecasted for tomorrow during the day and evening. We will continue to monitor the weather situation to ensure student safety. There will be no Appleknocker Club after school tomorrow. We will share other updates as they develop. Please stay safe and aware.
