To empower, enrich, and enlighten students to reach their full potential while respecting our past.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It has been a busy couple weeks here at school! We had Carnival and Grandparents' Day which were two big events. We have had softball, baseball, and junior high basketball in the evenings. There has also been lots of learning in the classrooms. Parent teacher conferences are next Thursday, October 24th from 1:00-7:00. Elementary students should have come home with your time of conference if you signed up for one. If you have a junior high/high school student, you can pop in between 1:00-7:00. Be sure to check out the artwork on the walls too!

I want to extend my gratitude to you for your support. Whether it’s helping with homework, attending school events, or keeping up with your child's grades, your involvement makes a significant difference in our school community. It creates an environment where students feel valued and motivated.

Looking forward, we have exciting events and learning planned for the next quarter. We remain committed to fostering a safe and enriching environment for all students. Your feedback is always welcome, as we strive to make our school the best it can be.

Thank you for your partnership in your child's education. Together, we can ensure a successful and fulfilling year ahead.

Please reach out if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns.

Warm regards,

Ashley Musick

I have loved seeing kids in the office for positive things! I have had preschool all the way up to a senior in my office for something good! They have a variety of prizes to choose from when they come to my office and spin the wheel--coupons, candy, snack, etc. Snack has been pretty popular!
