REMINDER:
Due to a 3pm start time for the Middle School track meet today, we will dismiss school at 2:30pm. This will allow time to clear the high school parking lot while also keeping our District-wide transportation schedule consistent.
We would like to thank the professionals who keep our buildings running smoothly every day. To our secretaries, administrative assistants, and other administrative support professionals, thank you for keeping us organized and efficient!
Today, we are recognizing all school bus drivers for taking care of our precious cargo during the school year. Whether they are transporting our kids to school, home, activities, or to sporting events, school bus drivers deserve recognition for the job they do.
