October 12th Pledge Video

You can watch the October pledge video below! All students watched it live on October 12th.

Federal Survey Questionnaire

All parents should have received a ParentSquare message asking you to complete a form online. This helps the school district get much-needed funding. If you have not filled it out, please do it right away. The first sections are for families wtih a parent in the military. If no parents are in the military, skip those sections. ALL OTHER PARENTS should fill out the last 2 sections ("civilians"). If you need assistance, please call the office at 392-3922, and press extension 3, between 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

You may also receive a form in the mail. Please complete it and mail it only if you don't do it ParentSquare.

Visiting Campus

Reminder: If you need to come to campus for any reason, please call 392-3922 when you arrive. On these days, these are the extensions you should call in order to get assistance:

  • Monday all day: Extension 3

  • Tuesday-Thursday mornings: Extension 3; afternoons: Extension 1

  • Friday all day: Extension 1

All visitors have to complete a wellness check to ensure nobody in the household has experienced COVID-like symptoms or had recent exposure to someone with COVID-19.

Monitoring Chromebooks

The district is using a program that allows teachers and staff to see what students are doing during instructional time. This ensures that students are completing tasks that are assigned, and not using anything that is distracting or not allowed. You may get ParentSquare messages or phone calls if your child is consistently completing tasks that are not allowed. Please monitor your child's use of other sites like TikTok and YouTube, as there is a lot of content that may not be appropriate for them to watch.

Earthquake Drill

On October 15th, students completed a brief drill in case of an earthquake. Students practiced the "stop, drop, hold on" protocol. Even at home, it's important for students to know what to do.
