Good afternoon families. Earlier today multiple emergency vehicles were on our Jacksonville High School Academy campus. We just wanted to reassure you that everything is alright on campus and that there are no threats to our scholars. Our fire alarm went off in the building and for the safety of our scholars we evacuated the building temporarily while emergency services checked over the building. Once we were given the all clear by those services, we re-entered the building to continue with instruction. We understand that any time emergency services are on campus, parents will worry and so we wanted to call and reassure you that your scholars are safe. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the front office at 501-985-1228. Thank you and have a great afternoon.
