11:55am Update From the Foley High School Principal: At noon, we will begin dismissing Foley High School students. We will dismiss car drivers first, followed by those students whose parents come to check them out. Students are welcome to remain on campus. They will be kept in the cafeteria and provided an opportunity to study. At the conclusion of school, those students who are bus riders will board their bus and depart for their home destination.


If you are coming to pick up your child, please come down Cedar Street along the back of the school and follow the security personnel around the south side of the cafeteria where you will pick up your child and depart out the east front of the school towards Highway 59.
