Parent/Teacher Conferences on Thursday, October 29th, from 1:00–7:00 PM activities:


  • Title I Reading Night & Parent Meeting (K–8 Families): Flyer is in the Lions Link
    That evening, we’ll also be hosting a Title I Reading Night and Parent Meeting. Stop by for some fun reading activities, and everyone is encouraged to join in.


  • TeacherEase Student Information Verification: As we continue working with our new student information system, TeacherEase, we will provide families with a printout of the parent/guardian and emergency contact information currently on file. Please take a few minutes to review the information and make sure everything is accurate and up to date. Having correct information is important so we can communicate with families and reach the appropriate contacts when needed.


Thank you for your continued support and partnership! We appreciate our Lions families and look forward to working together to help every student succeed. 🦁❤️🖤

Middle School Student Council has been planning a Drug-Free Red Ribbon Week for our student body. Dress-up days have been posted in this week’s Lions Link and on our Facebook page. Students who participate in the Red Ribbon Week dress-up days will receive a small prize at the end of the day
