Entrance Update
A couple of new features will be a no parking area stripped along the front line by the school and in the back bus lane. Students will be excited when they will see a colored USA map on the east playground. Let's see if they can learn where all the states are at!!!
If you need to come to school, please park on the east side of the school and walk along the sidewalk to the main entrance.
2020/2021 Planning
The district has formed a committee to look at different aspects of remote learning that we encountered this past spring. Our ultimate goal to create a more robust remote learning experience for students. We will take input gathered from parents, teachers, and students to achieve this goal.
Kindergarten Screening 20/21
We are exploring alternatives to how we can assess students. Once a plan has been developed, we will send out information for families to sign-up for a screening time.
