Dear Parents/Guardians/Staff: The district learned this afternoon that a student tested positive for COVID-19.  The student was last in the building September 15th and was in contact with students and staff.  Students and staff that were contact traced have been contacted by the school to be quarantined. At this time, the County Department of Health is aware of the student, and the district will continue to cooperate and coordinate with the County Department of Health.

Board of Education Committee meetings (Facilities/Transportation, Finance, Policy, Wellness) are regularly scheduled work sessions in specific subject areas. These are held in public but they are not for the public; that is, there is no provision for public comment and only committee members have copies of relevant paperwork covering financial or facilities information, policies they are currently working on, transportation studies, etc.  At each school board meeting, committee members publicly report the outcomes of their work. You can find a list of the 2021-2022 committees and their members on our website.

Please review COVID-related instructions for parents and caregivers, safety protocols, details about COVID testing types, and the COVID symptom list. 

For your convenience, we've rounded up key back to school information in a digital flier that can be updated as needed -- please check it often. This resource provides a calendar showing key dates in August/September, updated school supply lists, the school year calendar, device pickup details for students in grades 7-12, links to messages, school nurse updates, FREE breakfast and lunch info for all students, transportation updates, and important information from all soccer coaches. We're looking forward to seeing everyone on the first day of school: Thursday, September 9!

I want to thank our amazing staff, students, and families for stepping up to the plate this past year.  With the ups and downs of online learning, never knowing when we might have to close and go virtual, and worrying daily about whether you were doing enough – it wasn’t easy! -- you continued and persevered with modified plans for the year and quickly adapted to a new normal.  Our teachers did their best to provide quality instruction to prepare students for an unknown future. As we get ready to start a new school year, we are excited to welcome new students and staff and support them as they continue their educational journeys with us.  We remain steadfast in our continued commitment to academic excellence, innovative practices, school safety, and inclusive excellence.  We are proud of our achievements and grateful for our school community. As we look ahead, it is a good time to take a moment or two to reflect on how far we have come and where we are headed...
