Coming Soon --- One School, One Book
Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With this program, we aim to build a Community of Readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, staff members, teachers, even administrative staff – will all be following along together.
Look for more information to come soon!
January -- NWEA Middle of the Year Assessments

Cold Weather and Bus Transportation
Cold winter weather has officially arrived. At this time of year, our bus routes can be slightly delayed. It takes students a little longer to board the bus and our drivers slow down to drive for the conditions. Please dress for the weather at the bus stop. Thanks for your patience as we all stay safe at the bus stop this winter.
