State Assessment Data and APTT Meetings
We have concluded our state testing. Families can access students’ scores in Family Portal, using the Skyward login information. If you are unable to access, please contact our office to obtain your most up to date Skyward access information. Students’ achievement data will also be shared at the end of the year APTT meetings. We hope you join!
4th 9 Weeks PBIS Days
Students have worked hard these 9 weeks, and we are excited to celebrate their amazing behaviors! Below are the dates and events for our final PBIS days of the year.
Parent Climate Survey
We value your feedback! Please complete our 2023-2024 Parent Climate Survey to let us know what works well and what needs to be improved.
Summer School Invites
Summer School invites were sent home with students. Spaces are limited - please be sure to turn in your invite ASAP if you are interested in your child attending. The last day to register is May 15.
Zonewaiver Availability
District zonewaivers are available May 1 - May 20. If your child is currently attending our school out of zone and you have a zonewaiver on file, you do NOT need to fill out a new zonewaiver. If your 5th grade student is choosing to attend a middle school that is not in their zone, you MUST complete a zonewaiver. These are available at each school’s office.
Zonewaivers will be accepted based on availability of space.
