All schools and offices in the district will be closed on Friday, May 22, and Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day.
Because we did not use all our contingency snow days this year, we are pleased to provide this extended four-day weekend for our students and staff.
Let’s keep showing up, staying engaged, and making these final seven weeks count 📝✨

Before last night's Board of Education meeting, representatives from each of our schools met in the lobby of the Family and Community Engagement Center for the annual Passionate People Recognition Ceremony. The Passionate People award highlights the dedicated employees of our district who go above and beyond to support student success. We honor each of these individuals for their deep commitment to the community and for being the "heart" of our schools.
