These miracle workers are the backbone of our schools and Central Office. They are likely the first face you see as you enter the building but they are also working behind the scenes to solve problems and keep things running smoothly every single day. We appreciate each one of you!
Tomorrow is Pre K and Kindergarten Registration! Come out to the Town Center for all kinds of fun!
Today is School Librarian Appreciation Day!
Happy Teacher Assistant's Day! We have awesome TA's and we appreciate the love and support they give to our teachers and students.
While assistance will be available on the day of kindergarten registration for those who need help completing the online process, we strongly encourage families to register in advance. Completing registration early will help save time and ensure a smoother experience on April 15th. Please bring your application confirmation number on registration day.
On each elementary school website, you will see "26-27 Kinder Registration" at the top of the homepage. Clicking on that link will take you to the Kindergarten Registration page. Follow the instructions to complete the online registration portion.
Please note: You will still need to bring the required documents on April 15th in order to finish the registration process.
