From the Principal
May 29, 2026
Good People,
This week we celebrated our native groups with a family event and our native students also participated in the Bde Maka Ska Canoe field trip in which they got to fish, play lacrosse and canoe. Thank you to American Indian Education for planning and providing these opportunities for our students.
Next week our 6th graders will go the Children's Museum for a field trip on Thursday and our 8th graders will turn in their chromebooks on Friday June 5. It is super important that students remove any stickers that are on their chromebook and turn in their charger with their chromebook. 7th and 6th graders will turn in their chromebooks on June 8 and 9 respectively.
In Partnership,
Naida Grussing-Neitzel, Ed.S.
