District Strategic Planning process begins
Governor's Educator of the Year Program 2019-20 (Nominations now being accepted)
Do you know an educator who is dedicated, inspiring, and making a difference? If so, please take the time to recommend this person for the Governor’s Educator of the Year Program by completing this nomination form template and returning it to the building principal by the specified deadline. Administrators, staff members, students, parents and community members are encouraged to participate.
Levels of Recognition: The selection process begins by nominating one teacher and one educational services professional from each school. The two recipients from each school will be recognized by the County Office of Education, and teacher nominees can vie for the chance to compete for county, state and national recognition.
You will find the supporting documents for participating in the program, including the GEOY Nomination Form and the program Eligibility Criteria through this link to the district's website where the documents are located.

Student attendance reminders
- There are now only 5 reasons the state recognizes to be counted as excused absences.
(see the letter for those reasons)
- Our student information system, Realtime, generates letters automatically at 4,8,12,16, and 20 absences.
-The attendance reminder letters are then sent home. We try and keep track of certain situations that we have been made aware of that may have affected a student's attendance such as days off for a death in the family, chronic health condition, etc. However, the letters may still be sent home depending on the overall number of absences.
- In person meetings will be needed for excessive absences.
School Clubs are starting!
