Just over 30 School Days Left - Let's Enjoy!
Can you believe it? With just over 30 days remaining in the school year, we're hurtling towards summer break! This time of year always fills me with a powerful mix of emotions – pride in the incredible achievements of our students, gratitude for the unwavering support of our parents and community, and a touch of excitement for the adventures that await.
This past year has been a remarkable journey. We've witnessed our students tackle challenges, embrace new concepts, and blossom into confident young scholars. Whether it was a breakthrough in math, a captivating science project, or a masterpiece created in art class, each student has a unique story of growth to celebrate.
As we enter these final weeks, let's use this time to:
- Reflect on the progress: Take a moment to acknowledge the incredible strides your child has made. Discuss their favorite moments, challenges overcome, and skills they've developed.
- Fuel the finish line: Encourage your child to maintain focus and dedication. Help them establish a strong study routine and celebrate their achievements along the way.
- Embrace the learning opportunities: Use the remaining school days to its fullest. Field trips, class presentations, and end-of-year projects all offer valuable lessons and memories.
To our dedicated community: Your unwavering support is what empowers our students to thrive. Thank you for volunteering your time, attending school events, and fostering a love of learning at home. Together, we are creating a vibrant learning environment that will benefit our students for years to come.
The next 30 days are a chance to celebrate the incredible journey of this school year. Let's continue to work together, parents, educators, and community members, to ensure a successful finish and a bright future for all our students.
With gratitude,
Superintendent Heidie Ciesielski

School Lunch Hero Day
Not All Heroes Wear Capes- School Lunch Hero Day is May 3rd!
Stop by any cafeteria to watch school nutrition professionals prepare healthy meals for students—all the while adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile—and you'll see they are true heroes!
This is the reason we celebrate School Lunch Hero Day every year on the first Friday in May. This annual observance is a chance to showcase what a difference school nutrition professionals make in the lives of every child who comes through the cafeteria.
Summer Enrichment and Learning Opportunities
