    • More information can be learned from your student in participating grades, or by clicking here.


Information:

  • Our growth mindset for the month of April is “I don’t stop until I’m proud of MYSELF!


March is Reading Month:

  • We have had a fabulous month celebrating reading and partnering with all of you to promote family engagement throughout the month.

  • Thank you for your efforts in completing Bingo Cards each week.  Students have earned fun reading related prizes throughout the month for their involvement.

  • Literacy Night is tonight, Friday, March 28 from 6 - 8.  Bring your child’s completed book report and see what the other students completed this month.  In addition, you can make purchases at a Scholastic Book Fair, have free snacks, listen to staff readers, and experience some hands-on fun!


Vote on May 6, 2025! Keep it going for our kids and community:

  • With a 0 mil increase we can maintain the current debt levy of 6.55 mills while generating approximately $80 million for our schools. 

  • We can maintain our buildings for the foreseeable future without asking the community to increase the millage rate.
