Principal's Message
Thank you all for attending the band concert on Wednesday evening. We appreciate your support of our band programming and know it takes everyone working together to pull off what the students accomplished on Wednesday Night.

The Family Breakfast on May 29th from 7:00 am to 8:30 am. This is a fun event for our entire school community. The PTC cooks breakfast for all our families and we enjoy a great way to start the school day. This is a tradition in our school and a way for the PTC to say thank you for supporting our events all year. Parking is tough on this day. We suggest parking at the YMCA and walking over through the back pathway in order to come and go from school without dealing with all the traffic.

The School Board voted to adopt our proposed school day changes for the 2019-2020 school year. The morning times will be virtually unaffected, but the opening of the school day will start at 7:25 am. The students in K-5 will ride the bus without many of our middle school students and high school students. The end of the day, we will have two bus runs; one at 2:15 (per usual) and other at 3:05 pm. The 3:05 pm bus run will be for students participating in extra academic and curricular activities. More details will be given as we work out these plans over the next few weeks prior to the summer break.
Log your volunteer hours here: We are hoping you'd provide 10 hours of support to our school. Support can come in many forms.
