Activity inside the buildings will not be affected. The entrance to the Band Hall on Wildcat Drive will be closed for the duration of the roof construction.

Students will enter the gated area between the Elementary Gym and Elementary Building to access the Band Hall. Go Wildcats!

Hey Big Sandy Parents, Students, and Staff: We are excited to offer you an easy way to get your school supplies for the 2019-2020 school year! This will only work for the Big Sandy Elementary, due to Secondary classes not usually giving out school supply lists, as the students move to so many different classrooms. You can click on the following link to purchase your Elementary students' school supply lists from either Amazon or Education Place. With one easy click, the school supplies will be gathered for you and shipped directly to you: https://www.teacherlists.com/schools/60186-big-sandy-elementary?utm_source=TLAuto&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=PowLoadPost You can also choose to use Target by clicking the following link. With Target, you will be prompted to choose shipping or curb-side pick-up: https://www.target.com/school-list-assist/onboarding/find-class We hope that this helps to keep you from running from store to store to find the supplies on the Elementary school supply lists! The school does not financially benefit from this service, as this is simply a service that we wanted to provide for our parents, students, and staff! Go Wildcats!

Just a reminder, buses will run 2 1/2 hours later than normal this morning. We will begin at 10:30 for the start of school. Staff will report at 10 AM.
