😴 Start the Sleep Reset 😴

A week or two before school starts, shift bedtime earlier by 10–15 minutes every few nights. Better sleep = easier mornings = fewer missed days.

A few important notes:
1st-4th Grade Classroom teachers will be announced the week of August 17th via Seesaw. This is a change we have made due to frustrations with mail delays that we have experienced in the past. If you do not have a Seesaw account yet, be sure to sign up for one with the same email that you have enrolled your child with. Seesaw syncs with our Skyward Information System.

Please do not call the office prior to August 18th asking for classroom information as we will not be disclosing this information early. Balancing classrooms is very time consuming and can change up to the last minute. Thank you for your understanding.

Kindergarten teachers will still be sending letter via the US Postal Office.

Our Open House/Annual Health & Wellness Fair is slated for August 18th at 5 pm. If you are a community organization or resource- please sign up for a table using our Google Form (that can also be found on our website): https://forms.gle/YjGi7JmMjJgMvzw8A

🏫 One of the many steps that happens after a school bond proposal is approved is selling the bonds. District administration has been working with our financial consultant and we have some exciting news to share...

⭐ The District has earned an A+ credit rating—the highest rating possible! This is great news because it helps the District qualify for the lowest available interest rates, which helps make the most of taxpayer dollars.

💰 This rating reflects the District's strong financial management and long-term financial stability.

💙💛 Thank you to our voters for investing in our students and our District. Your support is helping us build a stronger future for our schools! 💛💙

A special thank you to Carrie Ammons of RE/MAX Right Choice Reality for coordinating a special assembly! Students learned a lot about the science behind hot air balloons from a RE/MAX pilot. It was a very neat experience. Students sat on a deflated balloon and posted for pictures inside a balloon as well! How many people can say they've been inside a hot air balloon? RE/MAX also donated an awesome true story book!
