We had our largest turnout yet for the Ice Cream Social, the District's annual back-to-school event, hosted by PALS. Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community members who joined us for fun! View photos from the event here.

As needed throughout the school year, the District will send text messages with important reminders, event announcements, bus route updates, and emergency notifications. If you are not already receiving District text messages and would like to, please text the word 'YES' to 79041.

Today was Picture Day at all school buildings. Order your photos ahead of time on the Color Portraits pre-pay sites for Todd Hall, Rutledge Hall, and Lincoln Hall. Pre-pay ordering will close at midnight tonight. Pre-paid picture packages will be delivered to each school for distribution to students approximately three weeks after Picture Day.

Miss pre-paying? You can order photos after Picture Day using your student's Ticket Code. Ticket Codes will arrive at each school with the pre-paid picture packages. Please note that a shipping fee will be added in this case as picture packages will be shipped directly to the home.

During the week of Sept. 22, students in all grade levels will participate in safety preparedness drills for evacuation, shelter, and lockdown scenarios.

Families may choose to opt their students out of lockdown drills, which will occur on Sept. 24. To do so, please contact your respective building secretary by Sept. 19.
