Hornet Headlines

Dear Hornet Families,

We are so excited to welcome our hornet families to the 2026-2027 school year! This year, we are United in the Hive, Driven to Thrive! Together, our students, families, staff, and community members make up one strong Hornet team, committed to creating a school year focused on student success!

In addition to our weekly phone call on Fridays, our monthly parent newsletter, "Hornet Headlines", will be posted on Facebook and sent through Focus Communications to keep you updated on important school events and information.

Thank you for your support as we look forward to a year full of meaningful learning, continued growth, and lasting memories!

Your proud principal,

Lindsay Hays

We have a new car line this year! Please excuse the construction as we begin using our new staging lanes on campus.

• Car line gates will open at 7:20 a.m for students to be dropped off.

During the first week of school, parents are welcome to walk their student to class from 7:35–7:50 a.m through the front office. The last day to walk students to class will be Friday, August 14th.

We appreciate your patience during arrival procedures as we create a safe and welcoming environment for students.
