Upcoming Eclipse

The big eclipse is coming up on Monday, April 8. Please remember that the district made a change to the calendar where we moved our holiday on April 1 to April 8. This means that we will have school as normal on April 1.

Read Across America

During Read Across America week, classes had guest readers drop by to read a story to various classes. In a day and age where more and more students are on electronic devices, it is nice to get a chance to promote the importance of reading a book.

Cultural Fair

We had a fantastic inaugural Cultural Fair at our cafeteria on Thursday. The diversity of backgrounds and culture were evident on our campus. It truly is amazing to learn more about the countries, and areas, that everyone connects with. Thank you to all that came out to experience this event. We are already talking about how we can make it even bigger and better for next year.

STEM Wish List

Dear Parents,

As we have entered another exciting round of STEM rotations, we're reaching out to you for a little help! Our STEM materials are an essential part of hands-on learning experiences, and to keep our activities fresh and engaging, we're updating our inventory with some new and replacement items.

We've curated an Amazon Wish List with a range of supplies that will enrich our students' exploration of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. On the list, you will find replacement parts for items we already have and some new items that we think will be fun and engaging for our students.

Your support in providing these resources will make a significant difference in our students' learning journey, ensuring they have the tools they need to thrive in STEM education.
