Welcome Back, Wildcats!

Our school is open, clean, and ready with teachers excited to teach your student(s) this week. Our teachers and staff members have been busy planning and preparing for the return of students. We know that we are going to have some challenges this semester, but we hope that we will be able to continue in-person learning. We will continue to clean and implement hand washing procedures.
