August 2021
PLC - Wednesdays
On Wednesdays throughout the 2021-22 school year, time will be provided for teachers to engage in professional activities which have been shown to improve student learning. This results in early release at the elementary level and late arrival at the secondary level. In collaboration with the YMCA, the district will provide learning activities for students during this time to avoid inconveniences for parents. Registration for students to participate in PLC Time is required and is free for all families.
Visit our website for more information about PLC Time or to register your student.

From The Principals Desk
We are a little over a week away from the start of the school year, and we are ready to go!
On the 12th of August, staff report and we begin our final preparations to welcome your kids to the building. The summer has was spent recharging, learning, and building up the excitement for kids to be back.
Each year brings new and unique challenges to it. This year begins my 17yr in education. Although I do not feel like I am old enough to have been in education for 17yrs, the grey in my beard confirms otherwise! Our year will have its typical and unseen challenges, much like every year does. We have detailed plans for and systems for everything we can think of, yet there will be situations and events that even the most seasoned educator has not experienced. So, when I reflect and prepare for the year, I am comforted knowing that you will not find a more talented group of staff committed to every kid's learning and growth. We are not perfect, but we sure try to be!
Thank you for entrusting your child to our staff; we do not take the responsibility lightly and want to partner for a great year.
The information below continues to build on knowledge and resources for the year. We will be including PTO information in the newsletter, and as you have noticed, we are not using a Google Site for the newsletter.
Don't hesitate to reach out, and as I tell the students every day...."Make it a great day or not, Mavericks. The choice is yours!"
