Middle School picture day is on September 10. There won't be a formal order form sent home.

FitnessPalooza
Get ready for Fitness Palooza, kicking off on September 3rd!
We're raising money to support our students, and we need your help. All proceeds will go towards student activities, school culture initiatives, spirit wear, and unique extracurricular experiences. Look for more information coming home with your student on September 3, 2024.
As students collect donations, they’ll have the chance to earn prizes, and the top classroom in each grade level will win an ice cream or pizza party! Let's make this a great event for our students!
Post-Graduation Opportunities Informational Packets
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has partnered with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) and other statewide stakeholders to develop the organization of resources on LEO’s Pathfinder resources page to comply with the requirements of MCL 380.1293 (Public Act 88 of 2022), post-graduation opportunities informational packet, which is now available.
Pathfinder is an online career exploration and planning tool to help increase the number of Michigan residents with high-quality, in-demand degrees and credentials by providing information to students to make informed choices about educational and career options. As such, it houses the compilation of resources and creates a centralized location for decision-making information.
