The Outdated Technology Corner in the media center draws some curiosity from students!
Veterans Day
Breckenridge middle and high school students honored our nation's heroes with a heartfelt Veterans Day assembly on November 11. Students shared the history of Veterans Day while our talented choir and band performed a stirring medley of military songs. We were privileged to hear from two veterans who shared inspiring stories and reflections on what it means to serve. Students ate lunch with the Veterans. It was a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedom. Thank you to all who have served!
Huskie Pack
Weโre thrilled to share that our Huskie PaCK mentorship program is going strong!
Once a month, high school students head to the elementary school to spend quality time with their younger mentees, guiding, supporting, and inspiring them.
This special program builds friendships, fosters learning, and helps both mentors and mentees grow together. Itโs incredible to see the impact of positive mentorship in action, and weโre so proud of our Huskies for making a difference!
Parent Teacher Conferences
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the parents, staff, and students who contributed to the success of parent-teacher conferences this year. With 45% of our students represented, these meetings provided an invaluable opportunity to strengthen the connection between home and school. We appreciate all you do to support our Huskies!

Keep the Huskies Healthy!
Unfortunately as we head into colder months, the number of illnesses rise. If your student is ill, please keep them home. Promptly call the school with any symptoms your child is experiencing (fever, vomiting, sore throat, body ache, cough) and keep them home until they're symptom free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducers. If you take your student to the doctor for their symptoms, please have your student turn in the doctor's note to the office when they return to school. This will ensure the absence does not negatively affect them for truancy purposes.
