CARES Winners

Our CARES winners for the week of October 21st!

Fall Harvest Activities - October 31st

As the end of the month approaches, classrooms will be preparing for their annual Fall Harvest Celebrations. We ask that District guidelines are followed regarding students who choose to wear costumes. Costumes are not allowed that depict violence, have weapons, blood, etc. Costumes also need to be culturally sensitive. Please no hair dye or face paint too!

Specific information regarding costumes and classroom activities will be communicated by each classroom teacher.

Alternative activities will be provided for students if parents find any of the Fall Harvest Celebration events to be objectionable. If you wish to have alternative activities prepared for your child, please send a note to your child's classroom teacher ASAP. This will allow him/her to plan accordingly. Thank you!

Watch School Board Meetings and Other School Events on the Web

Our webcasting technology provides convenient access to live and archived streaming of school board meetings through the website.

Residents can review board agendas and minutes posted alongside the video player for live and archived meetings.  Archived meetings are indexed, allowing viewers to select agenda items that interest them instead of watching a meeting in its entirety.

Getting To School On Time

Please make sure that if you are dropping your child off at school that you do everything to make sure they are on time.  Students arriving late are missing out on important learning opportunities.  The beginning of the day is an important time when the teachers are setting the stage for learning.  It is understood that occasionally there will be times a student may be late.  However, please support school expectations by scheduling other activities for your child outside of these hours.  According to our elementary attendance procedures, five unexcused tardies are equal to one day unexcused absence.
Please note that your child should not be dropped off at school in the morning before 8:20 a.m. (unless they are having breakfast, which begins at 8:15 a.m.)  Our staff have meetings and classroom preparations and are not available to supervise students who arrive before this time, unless previous arrangements have been made with the staff member.

Lost & Found

Over conferences, we had tables set out in the hallway with all the clothing that had collected in our lost & found.  Many items were taken home, but there were some left.

If your child is missing something and you think it might be at school, please check our lost & found.
