Football Field/Track
We are asking for the community’s help in keeping our football field and track clean and in excellent condition. Signs will soon be posted reminding visitors that bicycles and other wheeled equipment are not permitted on the track or football field. Strollers are welcome.
We also ask that dogs remain outside the fenced area. With the addition of the new dog park in town, we encourage community members to use that space with their pets. These guidelines will help protect our facilities and ensure the field is clean and ready for our students, athletes, and guests.
Thank you for helping us take care of our facilities!
School Pictures
7th-12th grade student pictures will be done on September 1. Preschool and elementary students that didn't get their pictures taken at Open House can also take school pictures on September 1. Afternoon preschoolers needing pictures will need to have their pictures taken in the morning as our photographers leave by noon. Retakes will take place on October 13.

All students have a weekly guidance lesson with elementary using the Second Step curriculum and the Jr-Sr. High using the Social Institute curriculum. We also offer a mental health club for Jr-Sr. High students. In addition, we do offer the opportunity to participate in individual counseling services for a small number of students each year.
