The new school year is off to a great start!

What a remarkable first week of the 2023-2024 school year! As we reflect on the past few days, we are proud of the way our entire school community has come together to make this week a resounding success.


We look forward to many more weeks of discovery, growth, and achievement in the months ahead!

Let's all work together to stay healthy!

Now that we’ve returned to school, we want to send out some important reminders as we all work together to reduce the transmission of infectious respiratory illnesses including flu, RSV, and COVID-19.


As noted in our Back-to-School Guide, we encourage frequent handwashing and good respiratory etiquette, along with regular cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting practices, to prevent the spreading of germs. Respiratory etiquette means practicing healthy habits, including:


  • Covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.

  • Throwing used tissues in the trash.

  • Coughing and sneezing into your elbow, not your hands, when you don’t have a tissue.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.


Finally, anyone experiencing symptoms, such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea, (or other symptoms of COVID) should stay home and consider testing for COVID-19.


Not sure if it is a cold, influenza (the flu), COVID or allergies? This information from the National Institutes of Health may be helpful. However, if your child is sick - even with mild symptoms - please keep your child home from school and notify your child’s school that your student is ill.


Thank you for your support!

Have you completed your ABCs?

This is a friendly reminder to complete your Annual Back-to-school Check-in process or ABCs. It should take about 15 minutes (or less!) to complete the process for each child in your household.


The ABC process must be completed for all students in the district - including both previously enrolled as well as newly registered students.


Please log-in to Skyward and take a few moments to complete this important process for your student(s) ASAP. Thank you!


Questions about this process? Need help with your Skyward log-in? Please contact your student's school or click here.
