The 2008-2009 school year unexpectedly ended early on Thursday, June 11, 2009. An electrical outage within the town limits of Narrows interrupted service to Narrows Elementary Middle School at approximately 7:45 AM. Appalachian Power Company provided continued progress reports to NEMS, but did not expect the problem to be resolved by 11:00 AM, the scheduled dismissal time, which was a 4-hour early release.

With telephone service out, faculty and staff used cell phones to contact parents and inform them of the early release. The school board office also assisted with these phone calls and the Sheriff’s Department enacted “CODE RED” to mass communicate this information. Ultimately, power was restored at approximately 10:30 AM.

A special thanks to our office staff, faculty/staff, the central office and bus drivers for successfully executing the early dismissal, without electricity. Thank you parents and community for your help with communication and understanding during the power outage.
Student report cards that were not distributed may be picked up at the school between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, June 12^th – June 17^th. The office will then be closed until July 1^st.

A note of congratulations and good luck to the 7^th grade class as they move to Narrows High School and, congratulations are also in order for our kindergarten class for the completion of their first year of school. Have a great summer!
Thanks
Mr. Franklin
