I'm so excited to welcome you back for the 2025-26 school year! I know how hard it can be to transition from summer mode to an early morning staff meeting, and I also know many of your rooms are disheveled from carpet removal and summer cleaning. We will have slow starts the first two mornings to give you time to work in your classrooms, connect with colleagues, and get your mind right before we come together in the library at 12:15pm (Monday). SLT will come around in the morning to greet you with Rick's bakery items on a cart. Click the button below for a detailed agenda of both district and building professional development. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

We have a new Parent & Student Handbook and Signature Forms! Please review (or study closely if you want to win) by Tuesday's PD. We will play a Quizziz game, and the winner will receive a $100 Amazon gift card. We also have gift cards for 2nd & 3rd place.

We could use an updated list of everyone's cell phone numbers (for staff text thread upload) and preferred t-shirt sizes. If you could please complete this 3-question form by Monday morning, I would appreciate it!

This is my first attempt to create a staff birthday calendar. Please review and let me know if your name is missing or there is an error. We pulled from eSchool and an old spreadsheet, then I manually entered, so I might've missed someone. Thanks!

To our counselors for working the last few weeks to get our student schedules done in time for Open House, and to Ashley DeLeeuw for being a quick learner to eSchool and scheduling!

Thank you to Willow Jongewaard, Dean Huffstetler, Sara Granata, Julia Wood, Lindsay McMillan, and Jennifer Martens for volunteering to help facilitate New Teacher Orientation teacher Q & A, tours, and a Camp SPARTA overview.

Shout out to everyone who attended PD this summer and gave up part of your summer break to prepare for a successful school year!
