Dear Parents and Families,
Welcome back!
Hope your summer was enjoyable!
As we begin the 2022-2023 school year, please review
all back-to-school information including the following:
- The first full day of attendance for students in Grades 1-8 is Thursday, August
18; Pre-K and Kindergarten students will
start August 24;
- All visitors must report to the
school office, sign-in and present identification;
- The district will continue using
Instant Connect as a communication tool and asks parents to update the
information (phone numbers, emails, etc.) as needed with the school office;
- Our district has a new lunch
vendor, Quest Food Service. The
vendor uses an online system to order lunches.
(See more information below).
Our K-5 staff throughout the district have been busy over the summer updating the math curriculum and are excited to share this new program (Eureka) with families at our curriculum nights.
Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a wonderful
organization and needs your support.
Please contact Mary Knudson, PTO President, if you are interested in
volunteering or plan on attending a PTO meeting during the school year.
We are looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year
as we focus on supporting the whole child, so each child will meet and/or
exceed their own academic and social learning targets!
Susan Redell
Superintendent of Schools
