Winter Break - No School for Students

Parents and Guardians: Please use only the designated drop-off area by the flagpole in our front drive off of 16 Mile Road for student drop-offs each morning.

For safety reasons, do not drop off students in or near the bus loop, as this area is reserved for buses only. Our front drop-off loop has a dedicated safety monitor every morning to ensure student safety, so please use this area exclusively for drop-offs.

Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!

We’re excited to introduce PBIS Rewards, our new school-wide reward system! This program allows staff to recognize students who go above and beyond, awarding them points for positive behavior. Students can then use these points to purchase items from our school store.

Recently, Mr. VanHam rewarded a student for "staying back to stack chairs when everyone else forgot," and Mrs. Ostling recognized a student for "being engaged in class and coming up with additional ways to solve problems." Keep up the great work, Red Hawks!
