Back-to-School Night
We are eager to welcome our students for another great school year. This year's Back-to-School Night will be Tuesday, August 22 from 4:00-6:00pm for students in Preschool-8th. Students are encouraged to bring school supplies and it is a great time to meet their teacher.
No Bus Service on August 23
There will be NO bus service on the first day of school. The bus will NOT run for morning pick up or afternoon drop off. Remember we dismiss at Noon on Wednesday.
Silage Piles
Silage pile season is coming up quickly. We encourage all our families to help at the silage piles. It is a fantastic community builder and the funds go to benefit the entire school.

Once again, the board will divide these funds accordingly. 70% of the donations will go toward the building fund and our new addition while the other 30% of the donations will go toward tuition assistance. We consider many factors when handing out tuition assistance to those who apply each year, your participation at these piles will be one of those considerations.

ALL families who participate with the silage piles (at the pile or bringing supplies) will have the option to apply for assistance, whether you received an ESA or not. That application will come out after the silage pile season is complete.

Thank you again, we could not do this without all our willing volunteers!
Building Protocol
We will continue to allow guests in the building only for pre-arranged academic purposes. All visitors to the building MUST come to the office first to check in. If you are bringing something for your student, you will need to leave it in the office.
Summer Reading Program
Don't forget to stop by the office before school starts to claim your summer reading prizes. Reading logs can be brought in to claim your prize on Back-to-School night in the library as well.
After School Pick Up
We're just over a week away from school starting and wanted to give you a refresher on how our pick up/drop off area works if your kids will be coming or going from school that way at all this year. Yellow & orange cards were distributed with families names were distributed at registration to be used at the car pick up line. See the video below for details. 


Our goal is to keep your kids as safe as possible during these high-traffic times at school. 

Also, please avoid using the parking spaces in front of school between 7:45-8:15 and 3:15-3:30.

Thanks for helping us maintain safety on in and around our building!
