Greetings and Salutations,
This promises to be a year filled with golden opportunities for all of our students as we strive to find ways that we can be even better than we have before! We embark on this journey with a pledge to you, our students and parents, that this will be a year of engaging, meaningful and rigorous work in our classrooms, combined with special events, extracurricular clubs and activities, performing arts groups, and athletic teams certain to encourage our students to be involved and stay connected!
The year begins with an Open Door on August 29th from 3:15 to 6:00 pm for the Jr./Sr. High and Elementary. Parents and students will be able to visit teachers, retrieve student schedules, acquire a locker, and checkout a Chromebook. Parents can also use this time to purchase ASB cards, complete free & reduced lunch forms, and update student contact information.
The first day of school will be August 30th. We will be having an all-school picture that morning.
