An Update from the Superintendent's Office - March 2025

As we welcome the month of March, we enter a season of growth and renewal, both in nature and in our school community. This month offers us the perfect opportunity to reflect on the progress we’ve made and look ahead to the exciting opportunities that await. We have a few short breaks just around the corner, making it a great time for students and staff alike to recharge, but also to stay focused on our goals for the remainder of the school year. I encourage everyone to continue striving for excellence, whether it’s through academics, extracurriculars, or personal growth. Let’s work together to make the most of the opportunities this month brings!

One School, One Book Project

The elementary is encouraging all families to read Charlotte's Web as a family. Each elementary family was given a copy of the book as well as a reading schedule. Over the course of the next couple of months we encourage families to read the assigned chapters and discuss what was read. Students will discuss each chapter in class. What a great way to engage families and students in the joy of reading! Thanks for participating!
