Riddle Me This

What can you hold in your left hand and not in your right?

Answer: Your right elbow. You can try it yourself if you're not convinced, but unless you have a broken arm or an incredibly flexible ulna, you won't reach your right elbow with your right hand.

To Our Leaders

Since Spring Break 2020 our school leaders have not stopped. They have worked tirelessly ending one school year remotely to planning the beginning of another. Many hours of thought, preparations, and collaborating have come together to pull off the beginning of a very new school year, while paving the way for a successful future. Most will never know or understand all they did for them, but their dedication to the future of the students, faculty, and staff has set the example for the school motto 'Pride in Excellence'.

Helpful Tips: Those Pesky Ride Ups

Face shields should be worn with band at eyebrow level. It does have a pesky habit of riding up, so be sure to check and make sure it is shielding your face two inches below your chin.

To Clear Confusion and Be Prepared For Possibilities

All students Pre-K-12 have a school issued laptop, which will show on their library patron status. Elementary students will keep their issued laptop at school, ensuring less contact with shared devices. It will also help the transition if we need to move to school wide remote learning.


Todos los estudiantes de Pre-K-12 tienen una computadora portátil proporcionada por la escuela, que se mostrará en su estado de usuario de la biblioteca. Los estudiantes de primaria mantendrán su computadora portátil en la escuela, asegurando menos contacto con los dispositivos compartidos. También ayudará a la transición si necesitamos pasar al aprendizaje remoto en toda la escuela.
