This is just a reminder that our class pictures will be tomorrow, Friday, 2/20/26. These are not Cap & Gown pictures for individuals in kindergarten or 5th grade. Those will be at a later date.

Thank you!

Inspired by the book “Leading with the Heart,” written by Mike Krzyzewski, the event recognizes one staff member from each school and various central services departments. Honorees were nominated by their peers based on several factors, including an enduring commitment to their role, a positive attitude, and an undeniable lasting impact on others.
We honor all 54 recipients for their commitment and their work that does not go unnoticed. Thank you! ✨

* We are still planning on holding our Someone Special Event tomorrow and Friday evening from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. We can't wait to see which special adult each of our students bring with them. This event accepts cash and card payments and there will be food trucks on site to purchase concessions from as well. For anyone that has pre-paid, due to not being at school, we have not been able to sort and send home wristbands. Therefore, both nights, there will be a "VIP" table that you will get in line to receive your pre-paid items for. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this change of plans. If you didn't purchase ahead of time, you will be able to do that at the door also.
* In other news, Progress reports will now be sent home on Friday instead of tomorrow so that ample time can be given to print them at the school.
* If your child attends early morning care, it will open at 8:30 tomorrow.
Thank you for all that you do and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Have a good evening.
