Superintendent's Message
A Message from Superintendent Layton
Welcome to the Spring Semester

I hope all of our students and staff had a great Christmas and a much needed break. I am excited to see what we can accomplish this semester!

 I want to give a shout out for the work our custodial and maintenance staff did over the break to get our schools ready for the spring semester.

I also want to thank our School District Police Officers as January 9th was National Law Enforcement Day. January is also School Board Appreciation Month, make sure you thank our board members.

I watched our boys’ and girls’ basketball teams play over the holiday break and our first day back from break; come support them on the hardwood!

The MEF Gala is on February 15th. Please come out and support our Education Foundation and students! We can’t thank the MEF enough for what they do.

We have a busy spring ahead of us. Get out to some events and support our Tigers!

Better Together
Welcome back! We are super excited to get 2020 started off! 
 
On Thursday, January 9th, we had our Winter Wonderland of Words. It was a great experience for all the students and parents. Children and parents rotated through rooms as teachers read stories to the groups. It was a huge success!
 
Next Thursday, January 16th, will be the 3rd Six Weeks Awards Assembly. Times will be posted later.
 
Next week we start tutorials again. Tutorials will be Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child is attending tutorials if they are required.
 
Monday, January 13th through Wednesday, January 15th, 5th grade will have benchmarks, so the kids need to be rested and ready to do their best. 4th grade will have writing benchmark on January 15th.
 
This semester is going to be very busy! Lets get this party started!!
