Superintendent's Message
As we wrap up the first quarter, it’s clear that this school year is off to a great start. From the first day of classes through parent-teacher conferences, our students, staff, and families have set a positive tone for the months ahead. Classrooms are filled with excitement for learning, and our school community continues to demonstrate teamwork, pride, and care for one another.
The success of the first quarter gives us great momentum for the rest of the year. Thank you to our families for your continued support and to our staff and students for their dedication and enthusiasm. We’re looking forward to building on this strong beginning and making the remainder of the year just as successful.
Proud to be a Wildcat,
Craig

Our Pre-K 4 classes enjoyed learning about farm animals and safety from Haven High School students. They discovered fun facts like how to be safe around cows, that chickens bathe in dirt to cool off, and that there are different kinds of rabbits.
