The Board of Education has become aware of some concerns that are being posted on Facebook regarding student safety. Anna CCSD #37 has always and will continue to keep student safety at the forefront of our concerns. In annual meetings with the Sheriff’s department, the local fire department, the ambulance service, and Anna PD, the District reviews the safety plan and addresses areas for improvement. Most recently, the District has purchased secondary door locks for each classroom. Although these devices have not been able to be installed yet, it is important to note that outside doors are always locked on all of our buildings and each door is equipped with surveillance cameras that can be viewed on multiple command centers throughout the district. Each classroom door also has a lock. These secondary locks are an extra safety measure, but students and staff can lock down in their classrooms by utilizing the lock that is already installed on the classroom doors. We are in the process of reviewing the best way to get the secondary locks installed in a timely manner while also ensuring this is done properly. It is also important to note that staff members and local police departments will need to be trained on the use of these secondary locks before they can be used. The District is dedicated to ensuring our students are safe and will continue to plan and upgrade where needed.
Dear Families,
Our local Wal-Mart and AJ High School have donated brand new clothing and shoes in a variety of sizes for us to offer to our students. In addition to all of the other offerings we will have at the Business and Community Expo during parent teacher conferences, we will be setting up tables on 3/16 and 3/21 from 3:30-7:00 pm for families to “shop” for their students AT NO CHARGE!
We hope to see you there!
District #37 families, due to a water line issue that the city is working to fix, District #37 will be dismissing at 11:00 today. We apologize for the inconvenience of this issue.

District 37 families, due to continued freezing temperatures, side roads and back roads remain very icy and slick. Due to this, we will have an e-learning day on Thursday, February 2nd. If your child’s teacher did not send work home for Thursday, he or she will contact you via email or text.
Also, the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade boys game at Century has been cancelled. However, the regional game for our JH boys will continue as scheduled. While we typically cancel all sports when there is inclement weather, District #37 does not control when these regional games are scheduled. The main highways and interstate are clear and the trip to Johnston City should not be an issue.
