Due to a situation occurring off campus in a nearby neighborhood, and in coordination with local emergency personnel, Seminole entered a shelter-in-place as a precaution at 10:44 a.m. this morning. The shelter-in-place was lifted 10 minutes later. We want to thank our staff and students for quickly transitioning and following all protocols! We hope all of our families have a wonderful holiday break!

Congratulations to our students who earned a gift card in our October Perfect Attendance Drawing! 🏆✨
These students showed outstanding commitment by being here every day, and we are so proud of their dedication.

Thank you to all our families for supporting strong attendance — every day truly makes a difference. Keep up the great work, Seminole Stars! ⭐❤️
