School Update
As we wrap up the 2020 year, we want to wish all of our families a wonderful and restful Christmas break!
Thanks goes out to Janet Revheim and Lyndse Bullard for coordinating the annual Christmas Shoppe and to Amy Crouch and Tom Fields for coordinating the drive-in movie nights. Our next drive-in movie night will be this Saturday, December 19, at 5:30.
Students also had a great time decorating their classroom door for our annual holiday contest. Congratulations to the classes of Mr. Collord, Mr. Lawson, Mrs. Podesta, and Mrs. Flagg for winning the door contest. See the picture gallery below for a look at all the doors. Great job students!
We would like to welcome Nezerra Tackett to a seat on the School Board and Lyndse Bullard who is continuing. Information about other business conducted during the recent Board meeting is below.
A reminder that our first week back from Christmas break we will be back in distance learning mode. Teachers will be providing instruction online Tuesday through Friday of this week (Monday is a non-student day). As long as we have staff and no state/county mandates, students will be returning to in-person instruction on Monday, January 11th. Keep an eye on our website for any updates.

Enrollment Opening for the 2020/2021 School Year
As expected, our enrollment is down for the current school year due to COVID. We are projecting a school enrollment of around 235 students for the upcoming school year. In order to maintain our current level of staff and services, we are hoping to return to an enrollment of 255 students.
Please help us spread the word about our school and encourage your neighbors and friends to check us out. We are always open to giving interested parents tours. A wait list has been established for the upcoming school year.
