We wanted to make you aware of the cosmetic changes to the front of the school that will be occurring over spring break. Due to safety issues and continued damage being done to the sidewalks and building, the two large trees in front of the school are going to be removed. This will be happening during spring break, March 25-29. The district does have plans (see below) to come back with landscaping and beautification of the front area. Thank you for your understanding and reach out with any questions.
Preschool enrollment is coming up very soon! We've added the direct link to all things preschool on the District Website below.
