Mrs. McPherson’s 1st grade read The Potato Chip Champ book about kindness. Then they did a chip tasting and graphed their favorite flavors.  Thanks parents who provided the items for this fun activity.

🛡️ A Message from Our Security Director: Safety Drills Underway 🛡️

As the new school year begins, our district will be conducting safety drills to help keep everyone prepared. In the coming days and weeks, you may see first responders at different school sites at various times. These community partners are working alongside us to make sure our schools remain safe and welcoming places for students, staff, and families.

Thank you for your support and cooperation as we work together to keep our schools safe and secure.
