Superintendent Information
Dear Jaguar Friends & Families,
We hope this message finds you refreshed and ready to roll after a well-deserved Spring Break!
Lots of updates, so I apologize ahead of time for the length of this week's newsletter.
As we return to school, we start the final stretch of the school year, filled with excitement, opportunities, and new beginnings. Spring Break offered a chance for everyone to recharge, reconnect with family and friends. Now, as we step back into the classrooms and hallways, carry that renewed energy and enthusiasm with us.
Thank you for your continued dedication and commitment to learning. Together, let’s make the remainder of the school year one to remember!
Welcome back
Thank you, have a great week, and Go Jags.

Easton Sport Court Improvements
Improvements to Easton's existing outdoor tennis/basketball court were approved at the March 26 School Board meeting. Using funding from the district's Capital Projects fund and statewide purchasing contract, the improved sport court will feature basketball, volleyball, pickleball, screening, as well as equipment upgrades in the gym. The goal is to have the improved sports court be used by our PE classes, athletic teams, and the community during non-school hours.
Improvement work is slated to begin later this Spring/Summer with a tentative finish date of late August.
