Casper PD has asked NCSD to do a supervised release of DMJH and Park Elementary. Bus students will be released early. Parents will need to pick-up their student at Dean Morgan and Park Elementary. All after school activities at Dean Morgan and Park Elementary are canceled. Students will be able to remain at these schools inside until parents are able to pick them up.
