Principal's Message

Welcome back, students, parents, and guardians,


I hope you all had a happy and safe break! We are looking forward to seeing all of our students again tomorrow. We are kicking off with a 5-day week, with this Friday being a Day A. Check out the Upcoming Events section for what's happening!


2025 ended with an awesome Spirit Week planned by our Leadership class. Students had a lot of fun. I'd like to throw a special shout out to Kyra Harris for all of her hard work to make the dance a reality! She did an outstanding job! Check out the pictures below.


-Mr. Ripkens

Mrs. Grabowski's Math 7 Mrs. Grabowski's Math 7

In Math 7 students practiced converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. We worked in small groups to order different numbers from least to greatest, then we came together as a whole class and all students worked collaboratively to create one giant number line of fractions, decimals, and percents in order from least to greatest.
