The lockdown has just been lifted and the buses will run with the students that are remaining at the schools. Thank you- Dr. White

I have just been notified by the Dupo Police that if a parent wants to come pick up their child or sign them out you may do so. This means you must enter the school and sign out your child only. This will take time and be a process so please be patient. High schoolers who drive a car still must have a parent sign them out. Buses will not run until we receive the all-clear notice.

I wanted to give you an update, we are still being directed to remain on lockdown by the Dupo Police Department. We are being told there is still an active situation in our community. We will notify you immediately once the Dupo PD says it is safe to lift the lockdown. - Dr. White

Dupo School District was scheduled for an early dismissal today. However, due to the continued lockdown, we will not dismiss until we are given the all-clear by the Dupo Police Department. Thank you for your patience, and we will update you when we can begin dismissal.. - Dr. White

I want to inform you that our schools are currently on lockdown due to shots fired in the community. The incident did NOT involve our students or staff. The police department reached out and instructed us to lock down the buildings out of an abundance of caution. As always safety is our top priority and we are working closely with the Dupo Police Department and will lift the lockdown as soon as we are given the all-clear.
