Superintendent's Message
Welcome back to school! I hope you had a wonderful summer vacation! We are excited to have the students back in school for another year of learning and fun. Due to the new law that was enacted during the last legislative session regarding open enrollment, we had to be sure that people who were enrolling students in our district are living in our district. We followed the district policy strictly. We understand that it caused many families a little extra work and added stress as you worked to provide the correct documentation. We appreciate your patience with us as we worked through this process together.
Hopefully you were able to participate in the open houses at your children’s schools this week. This is a great opportunity for students to meet teachers and staff in an informal and fun setting. The teachers have been working to have their classrooms set up and ready to welcome students on the first day of school. We look forward to seeing all of our students on Tuesday, September 5. Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!
Warm Regards,
Lisa Arnold
