It was fantastic while it lasted but unfortunately, there will be no federal funding for universal free school meals this year. All families are encouraged to fill out a free or reduced lunch application. Forms can be submitted to your school or to the district office. See our website for more information: https://www.savannahr3.com/o/savannah-r3/page/frmeals
Have you registered your student yet? Online registration is a great way to make sure all of your contact information is up to date, sign and view handbooks prior to back to school night, and register for the bus! Keep in mind that registration works best on a computer vs a mobile device. Check our website for more information. www.savannahr3.com/page/back-to-school.
We have several immediate openings for school custodians. See our website to apply! www.savannahr3.com -- work for us
We have have been made aware of rumors surrounding tonight's middle school dance. No credible threat has been identified but local law enforcement has been contacted and will be present at the middle school this evening.
The fire alarm at SMS is believed to be a failure in the system - not a real credible fire. Students and staff have been evacuated until we can be certain the building is safe.
*Update* There was a malfunction with the fire alarm system at SMS. The building has been cleared and students and staff are being allowed to return.
The fire department is on scene at SMS. At this point, we do not believe there is a fire (just a false alarm). However, students and staff have been evacuated until the building has been checked. More information will be shared once the issue is resolved.

District Families -
Beginning Wednesday, January 26, 2022, masks will be required on the Amazonia, John Glenn, and SMS campuses for all students and staff members. Due to the number of positive covid cases on these campuses.
Per our current SR3 Covid Guidelines, “any campus with over 5% of its population testing positive for COVID-19 will be required to wear masks regardless of vaccination until such a time that positivity rates fall below 5% for at least two weeks.”
We hope this mask requirement will be temporary, but having our students learn in person and on campus is our top priority. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Please note that this change only applies to our Amazonia, John Glenn, and SMS campuses.
Last night the Board of Education voted to move forward with a block S for the official Savannah Savage logo. The option for no mascot was the clear winner in the recent survey done of students, staff, community members, and alumni. District Communications Coordinator, Jess Gillett, will be working with a local graphic artist to finalize 2 versions of the logo - one simple black and gold S and one S featuring claw marks. Anyone interested in donating their talents to this project should contact the district via communications@savannahr3.com.
This is a test of the SR3 emergency alert system. This is only a test. As a reminder, school will resume on Monday, January 10.
