A main water line project on 69th Avenue North in front of the school will significantly impact traffic on November 3rd, including parent drop-off and pick-up. As a result, parking or stopping on the shoulder of 69th Ave will be limited. We also request that after using the visitor lot, you please exit turning left (westbound) safely. Thank you in advance for your patience during this temporary disruption.

Community Conversations : This school year, three Community Conversations are going to be held to better understand from family and community members what is going well and what needs improvement in the school district. District leadership and school board members will host the events, which are set for Nov. 5, Feb. 3 and May 12.
Your help is needed to start the planning process. If you could please take five minutes to let us know your thoughts on our schools via this Google Form. The themes arising from your responses will help inform the topics chosen for the Community Conversations. Additionally, if you’re interested in participating in a conversation, please share your name, contact information and the dates that work best for you in the space provided on the form.
During the Community Conversations, the team will be focused on listening to understand. The goal is to help inform the district team of the why behind what is working well and what areas of growth are needed. Knowing this information will guide us toward improving our day-to-day work, making necessary adjustments and continuing to become the best place to learn.
A summary of the results will be shared community-wide. Thank you, in advance, for your partnership on this journey.
September is a crucial month for laying the groundwork for a successful school year. We're dedicated to teaching and reinforcing expectations while actively building strong relationships among students and staff.
To kick things off, all students completed their Code of Conduct, which reviews key points from our student handbook and our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) matrix above. You can review the specific forms and videos used for this year's training here.
Throughout September and early October, we'll reinforce these expectations through engaging PBIS grade-level assemblies. Students will or have participated in fun challenges on September 19th, September 23rd, and October 14th. These activities aren't just about reviewing rules; they're designed to help students connect and team with one another and their educators, further strengthening our supportive school community.
This month's focus was on "Be Ready," and that absolutely includes being on time! Getting to class promptly is fundamental to student success. To help everyone make the most of their learning time, we're offering practical support like limited passes and escorts if needed. We know life happens, and our main goal is always to help every student succeed.
We'll keep you in the loop! If a student racks up more than five tardies in a week (that's about one a day), parents/guardians will get a notification on Fridays. This helps us partner with you quickly to address any patterns and offer the best support.
Stay connected with us! Download the free TalkingPoints app to receive important school updates, reminders, and resources in your home language. The app makes it easy to send and receive messages, even by text if you prefer. Join us in keeping the conversation strong between home and school!
