A Note From Mr. Koder
All-Star Parents,
I know that many of you have seen the news on social media, but I wanted to let you all know that at the end of the semester I will be transitioning into a new principal role in a different school district. I will miss my All-Stars so much but I have a lot of faith that our district level leadership will replace me with the right person. The most important thing is that Anderson has a staff that loves and adores your kids and they are going to continue to pour in to your students every day from here on out. Thank you all so much for your support over the last 3 school years. I know that Anderson will have a bright future beyond my time as principal.
Mr. Koder

- Please send a change of clothes for K-2 in their backpack in case they have an accident at school.
- Please notify the nurse if your student tests positive for COVID and please keep them home.
