Important Reminder About Early Dismissal We kindly ask that all students who need to leave before 2:45 p.m. be checked out through the office before that time. This allows our staff to accurately update transportation lists and ensure that every student is accounted for. When students leave right before dismissal without being checked out in advance, it can create confusion and extra searching for students who are already safely on their way home. Our goal is to keep every child safe while maintaining an efficient dismissal process. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation—it helps us make dismissal smooth and safe for all students. Thank you for partnering with us!

Menu change today! Instead of enchiladas we are having grilled cheese and no beans. With corn and pineapple tidbits!

The day you were born was a beautiful day! We love celebrating our students and the joy they bring to our school family each and every day. ❤️ #WeLoveOurStudents #SchoolFamily #BeautifulDay

🛡️ 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.
