Calendar Survey
The MSD Calendar Committee has developed four options for the upcoming school year and beyond.
Track Your Bus!
Did you know there’s an app that can track your student’s school bus arrival and shorten the time kids are waiting at a stop in the cold, wet weather?
Family Code Night!
Have you signed up for Family Code Night, scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 28? It promises to be a fun family event where you pair up with your student to play games, solve puzzles and learn about computer coding!
Reminder: Teacher of the Year nomination deadline

Congratulations to Grizzly Cheer for winning the OSAA state championships last weekend!
Grizzly swimmers won both girls and boys district championships with individual wins by McCall Fairbank, Michael Khoury, Keller Shea and Jace Zemlicka, which qualifies them for the state championships, along with several swimmers who qualified as part of a relay team.
Four wrestlers, Max Vander Meide, Cameron Anderson, Ian Morris and district champion Bradley Wooldridge are headed to the state championships this weekend.
Girls basketball is still at the top of the league with the last league game next week. Boys are in fourth place in the league and also wrap up league play next week.
Go Grizzlies!
