October is parent teacher conference month! Your child's teacher will be reaching out to schedule conferences. Many teachers will be having conferences on October 15 and October 17, please make it a priority to attend a parent teacher conference. Our goal is for 100% of all our parents to attend!

Please take a moment to review the online version of our district’s Safety in Six brochure by clicking here or the link below. This guide outlines how we communicate with our families during an emergency, how to submit a safety tip, and the proactive steps we’re taking for the safety of our students and staff. Thank you for what you do everyday to help create a secure and supportive environment for our school community.
