Back to School 2022
We are set for the beginning of school on August 24th. The first day of school will begin with the first bell at 8:25 am and end with the dismissal bell at 12:50pm.

We are excited to welcome our returning students and our new students.

This summer has been the summer of construction. New windows have been installed on the south side of the building thanks to the efforts of Danco. The main downstairs bathrooms will be completely remodeled by the beginning of school thanks to Maples Plumbing and Jamey Fischer. A thank you goes to Mendes Supplies for refinishing the gym floors. The entire building has been painted by Hamanaka Painting. Our roofing project has been completed. We are definitely going into the new school year with a bright new look!
