Spring Conference Information
We are currently working on gathering academic information and goal setting worksheets from all students to mail a packet home to families. Our timeline for completion is to have these in the mail by March 17th for you to review. After taking a look at the packet, we will have conference times available for parents to meet with our staff as needed. However, at any point in the school year, if you have a question or concern, we encourage you to send an email or give us a call for clarification. Our lines of communication are open throughout the school year, so please don't feel that you need to wait for conference week (full calendar below).

Levy Listening Session
The School Board approved a resolution to place the Capital Projects and Technology Levy on the April 26, 2022 special election ballot. As you know, the levy failed to receive a simple majority vote on
February 8 to gain passage. State laws allow districts to resubmit a failed levy one more time in a calendar year.
Over the next two months, we will be listening to our families, staff and community about any concerns they may have about this levy and explaining how this local levy funding supports student learning.
The district has scheduled a listening session on the proposed levy for Wednesday, February 23, from 6 to 7 p.m. on Zoom. Access the webinar HERE.
I hope you all are enjoying a well deserved 4 day weekend!
