Starting April 29th, for grades 3-8, SBA testing will begin. This state assessment provides us with valuable information about where students are in their learning journey. We analyze this data closely to guide our instructional decisions and ensure that we are meeting the needs of every student. We appreciate your support in encouraging your child to do their best on these assessments by getting plenty of rest, eating a healthy breakfast, and arriving at school on time.

Enjoy the long weekend as we commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his advocacy for civil rights.

Attendance matters! Consistent attendance is an important component of a student's success in school. We are asking all students and families to partner with us to improve student attendance! Please make every effort to get students here on time and make sure they are IN SCHOOL as much as possible.

Dear Families and Staff, June 8, 2023 -- The smoke and haze over the past few days has been unprecedented for our region. Based on reports from our weather service, the air quality is anticipated to improve throughout the day, but it will take time for the smoke to move out of the area. We will continue to monitor conditions by consulting with the local health department, follow the guidance of the Department of Public Health (DPH) and monitor air quality through the Air Now website https://www.airnow.gov/. Outdoor activities will continue to be suspended today until further notice. Building administration will be in touch with any school-specific information regarding scheduled events.
