⚡️ Tonight we had what was probably the worst case scenario happen during the power outage. Our generator failed to start for reasons that are still unknown. Normally, when the power goes out, our battery backups keep our network and servers running for about 20-30 minutes. That gives the generator time to kick on so everything stays up and running. Well… tonight that didn’t happen. When the batteries ran out, everything went down. We were pretty concerned that we might have lost our entire network or damaged some of our servers when the power came back on. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. Last year, the Star City School Board approved a significant investment to completely upgrade our district’s server and network infrastructure. Tonight, that investment proved its value. When power was restored, every system came back online just as it was designed to do. As of now, everything appears to be working perfectly. A special thank you to our IT Director, Randy Newton, for having the foresight to recognize the need for this upgrade and for leading the project from start to finish. Thank you to our School Board for trusting our team and making the commitment to invest in technology that powers our entire district. I also want to give a shoutout to the men and women of C&L Electric Cooperative Corp. for working diligently to restore power as quickly as possible. Their hard work gave us the opportunity to bring our systems back online and helped ensure everything came through the outage without damage. Sometimes it’s hard to see the value of major infrastructure investments because they’re behind the scenes. Tonight was a reminder that those investments matter. They protect our district, keep us operating, and give us peace of mind when the unexpected happens. Needless to say, we will sleep a little easier tonight! 💙

📚🚗 Star City Schools Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures As we gear up for another fantastic school year, please review the drop-off and pick-up routes for each campus. Following these routes helps ensure student safety and keeps traffic flowing efficiently. Here's what families need to know: 🔵 Star City High School (Grades 9–12) Use E. Arkansas St to access the high school—whether you're coming from HWY 425 (the red light) or from the east side of town. Follow the blue route directly into the high school loop. Please pull all the way forward to drop students off at the east end of the building, and do the same when arriving for pickup. 🟡 Star City Middle School (Grades 6–8) – MORNING For morning drop-off, all students in grades 6–8 will enter E Bradley St from HWY 425 or E. Arkansas St, then turn onto Cleveland St and follow the yellow route. 🟠 Star City Middle School (Grades 7–8) – AFTERNOON 7th & 8th grade students will be picked up in front of the middle school building via the orange route off E. Bradley St (PM only). 6th grade students will be picked up along Cleveland St using the yellow route, following the same pattern as the morning drop-off. 🔴 Jimmy Brown Elementary (Grades 3–5) Use Ashley St from E Arkansas St, then follow the red route to the designated 3rd–5th grade loop in front of the JBE building. This route is only for 3rd–5th grade pickup/drop-off—please do not enter unless you’re picking up or dropping off a student in this grade band. If you have students in both K–2 and 3–5, please use this lane. Staff will ensure your children get to the correct area safely. 🟢 Jimmy Brown Elementary (Grades K–2) Enter via Dallas St from HWY 425, then follow the green route into the K–2 loop. This route is only for K–2nd grade pickup/drop-off. This is the safest and most direct route for our youngest students. 📌 Reminders for All Drivers: Please be patient—especially during the first few weeks. Staff will assist with directions and student transitions. Avoid blocking intersections, side roads, and driveways. Always follow signage and staff instructions. Drive slow and use caution at crosswalks. Let’s work together to keep our students safe and our campuses running smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation! 💙

You asked… and we listened! Lunch visits are BACK at JBE! 💙🤍 We can’t wait to see our JBE families back in the building! Thank you for partnering with us to make our school community so special. #bethebest
