As we approach the end of the school year, it’s important for students to stay engaged, attend school, and finish strong! Visit our website for attendance resources.
The PTA Nominating Committee has developed a slate of amazing individuals and we will vote on the 2024-25 board at the PTA meeting May 15th. Current PTA President Katie Abbott has agreed to remain in the role, if elected, as long as we have a candidate in the Vice President role.
Therefore, we are still seeking a Vice President who would shadow the current PTA President in 2024-25 to learn the role and step into the President position in 2025-26. Learn more about the role!
It is time to start planning for our next school year. Developing class assignments each year is a complex process. School administration, classroom teachers, counselors, special education staff and specialists all have the opportunity to provide feedback on class groupings.
If you have feedback that you would like for us to consider, please add it to this Family Input Form no later than May 17, 2024. Late submissions will not be accepted. We will consider all feedback provided, but we are not always able to fulfill requests.
We respectfully ask that you do not request particular teachers. It is unfair to give special consideration to some families when it would be impossible to grant requests from all families. Please be aware that grade level assignments for staff sometimes change, due to late enrollments or other changes. Staff assignments are determined at the end of the summer.
