Did you know? 🎒 Regular attendance in preschool and kindergarten is more crucial than you might think
Even missing just a few days can impact a child's early reading and math skill development. By starting good attendance habits early, we set our youngest learners up for long-term academic and social success.
Let's work together to build strong habits right from the start! 🌟

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.
May is here! 🌸 Don't let "Spring Fever" get in the way of learning. We’re in the final countdown, and we want to see EVERY student finishing the year on a high note. 📝✨
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.
🎓Decision Day Part 2!
On Friday afternoon, students wore the gear of their college, trade, military or career decision. Congrats to all in the Class of 2026!
