Did you know that eating #schoolbreakfast fuels learning? A healthy breakfast leads to better concentration and memory, keeps students more alert, and helps with achievement in school. Our Food Service team serves nutritious school breakfasts to ensure students are ready to learn every school day. Try breakfast this week — it’s free! #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek

On Tuesday afternoon (March 8) some of our older buses will be replaced with new buses. While your child's bus may have a new bus license number, ROUTE numbers will not change. The route number is the white number placed on the front and rear bumper of each bus. (The black number on the side, next to the door, is the license number, which will read 17-3-###. Do not reference this license number when looking for your route number.) Please remind your student to look for the white route number on the front and rear bumper. Route numbers will remain the same. Our staff members will help your student locate his or her new bus for the ride home on Tuesday.

Interested in playing volleyball? Tryouts are coming up soon. Get ready to be #ALLIN. Must have a current physical.

In two weeks, elementary schools will host Parent Teacher conferences. We’re happy to offer both in person and Zoom conferences. Parents will be contacted by your child’s teacher. All students will be dismissed early on March 17. School is closed on Friday, March 18 for professional development, so Spring Break starts a day early for students. #BonusDay
