Our educators were busy this week learning, collaborating, planning, and preparing for the year ahead. We’re grateful for the time they’ve invested in growing together and getting ready to welcome our Tigers back!
We had a great turnout across the district for Open House last night! It was so good to see our Tigers, families, and staff together as we get ready for another great year.
We’ll see everyone Tuesday, August 25, for the first day of school!
A big thank you to our custodial and maintenance crews for working hard all summer to prepare our schools for a new year! We appreciate all the work you do behind the scenes to make our buildings shine!
