Elementary Parent Newsletter

We are less than a week away from the start of the school year!

Monday, August 18 will be our Back to School Informational Night from 4:15-6:00 pm. We hope to see you there. More details in the flier below!

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 20. School begins at 7:50 am. You are welcome to walk your child to class (optional!). We will open the doors at 7:35. If this isn't an option you wish to use, the bus times will run as normal, and we will open the parent drop off at 7:30. We do ask that you exit promptly by 7:50 so we can begin our day. The day ends at 12:00 on August 20. Bus routes will run, and parent pick up is an option, as well as ATHENA. We do ask that if you haven't completed the ATHENA packet, to do so BEFORE you have your child stay. This form is available for pick up during our Information Night and on our website.

PLEASE ensure you share first day transportation with the teacher AND send a note (or call before 11:00) on August 20. The first day is new for all of us, and we want to ensure everyone gets to the right place. Thank you for your patience and understanding for the first few days as we work to make sure things run smoothly again.

If you are new or needing to know your child's teacher for Monday's Back to School Night, feel free to call the office, or as when you stop in!

Looking forward to an amazing new year,

Mrs. Ashley Kountz

We appreciate your patience the first few days as our drivers become accustomed to their new routes. Stop by and see the transportation crew during the informational night with any questions!

Some of you still need to enroll your child for school! Please access this by using your parent portal, going to "more" and selecting 2025-26 Online Registration. Follow the guidelines below!

Resident Affidavit (RA) Eligibility

If this documentation cannot be provided in the exact forms provided above, the parent/legal guardian may be eligible for the RA process. This may be the case if the parent and child(ren) are living with a friend or family member in the district and they do not have the property or lease in their name. The RA process must also be used if, for example, someone is living with someone but is not personally paying rent to live there and thus, cannot provide a residential lease agreement. Ultimately, if the parent/legal guardian name is not on the owned or leased property in the District, the parent/legal guardian will need to complete the RA process.

If this is the case, the following must be provided:

1. Completed Resident Homeowner Affidavit of Residence and Parent/Legal Guardian Affidavit of Residence forms which are available by contacting the school offices.

2. A form of primary documentation and secondary documentation listed above from the resident homeowner.

3. The parent must provide one of the following within 45 days of enrollment:

1. Recent paycheck stub with name and current address

2. Recent insurance bill with name and current address

3. Recent bank statement with name and current address

4. Federal, state, or county court documents with name and current address

After 45 days if documentation is not sufficient, the student will be unenrolled.

What if none of these situations apply or insufficient documentation is provided?

If these situations do not apply or insufficient documentation is provided, the parent/legal guardian may still enroll their child and pay tuition at the current district-approved rate. ($8,000)
