📣 Important Communication Update 📣
Our new school alert system currently allows only two contacts per student to receive phone calls and text alerts. Students will not receive phone call or text message alerts through this system. We understand this may be limiting for some families and want you to know that we are actively working on a solution.
👉 In the meantime, we strongly encourage families to download the Southern School District 1, NE app and share important information with family members who may also need to receive updates. The app provides push notifications for announcements, alerts, and important school updates—helping everyone stay informed even if they are not listed as one of the two contacts.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact:
📧 Chelesy Fralin – cfralin@southernschools.org
📧 Audrey Whitwer – awhitwer@southernschools.org
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to improve communication for our school community. ❤️🖤

Due to the current weather forecast, Southern Public Schools will not have school on Friday, January 23. All activities scheduled for Friday have been cancelled and will not be rescheduled.
Please stay tuned for updates regarding Saturday activities. Stay warm and safe, Raider Nation! ❤️🖤
