Don't forget to complete health requirements for the current school year! Physical exams and immunizations are due 10/15 or your child will be excluded from school until the proper updated paperwork is turned in. If you haven’t already done so, please make an appointment for your child’s health examination and request that your medical provider complete the required form and return it to your child’s school ASAP.

All forms and more information can be found on the health form page of our website (linked below).

The Board of Education celebrates those who make a positive impact through Board Salutes - special shout-outs given during board meetings and recorded in the official minutes.
