Please have an enjoyable and safe summer vacation!! The first day of school is Monday, August 19th!!

Dear Parents and Guardians, On behalf of the Board of Education, I want to thank everyone for your support. Summer is almost here and I want to encourage you to make sure your child reads over the summer. Friday June 7, 2019 is the last day of school for students.

First, I want to recognize my Board of Education and staff for the dedication, talent, commitment and ethic of care given to each student. Together, we are making a visible difference for our students, families and community. Over the past year, we have worked hard to ensure our facilities are up to state codes and we are preparing for our 10-year Health Life Safety . . .
