Preparing for the new school year doesn't end at 8:00 on Tuesday. Each student will have a number of forms that need to be completed and turned back in. Among those forms will be a technology agreement. No student will be allowed to access the school's computers or wi-fi until that form is completed and returned. This is especially important for students who have Spanish!
At our open house, teachers handed out supply lists. If you were unable to attend, please see that your student has the materials they need as soon as possible.

We also have a couple of changes to our fall teaching staff this year.

Improving Indoor Air Quality: Upgrading HVAC systems for healthier environments
Enhancing ADA Accessibility: Focusing on restrooms and locker rooms
Replacing Aging Infrastructure: Including the leaking elementary school roof
Boosting Energy Efficiency: Replacing worn exterior doors to save costs
It is our responsibility and priority to inform local voters about the district's needs and the August 6th election through our dedicated referendum website, social media, community postcard, and more.
