This message is for parents of 4th-6th grade students: Tomorrow we have an activity day scheduled and we have partnered with Paintsville Tourism to provide an opportunity for our students to climb their rock wall. Students will be harnessed in and an adult climber will also be harnessed in for the climb in case any issues arise. If you give permission for your student to participate in the activity, please write a note similar to what is pictured on our live feed. Students will not be allowed to climb without permission. Thank you.
