District Calendar Survey
Our District Educational Improvement Committee would like your feedback on the Academic Calendar for the 2025-2026 school year. The DEIC reviews different calendar options and chooses the best to send to staff and parents each year for a vote. Those results are then shared with the School Board in the December meeting and the Board votes on the calendar.
This survey will help us generate those calendar options and it will help guide the members of DEIC. The survey is short and should only take a few minutes.
The survey will remain open through November 8th.

Attendance Matters!
Increasing student attendance is one of our big goals for the year. We will have 9 week incentives, by grade level, that are going to be tied to good attendance. Please encourage your student to come to school every day!
*Students who are more than 10 minutes late to class will be counted absent.
*Make-up time will be required for those not in attendance for at least 90% of the day.
*Early release cut off is 2:40 pm
*Make-up hours will be required for those who miss over 10% of a class
Absence notes can be turned into the front office or submitted electronically using Skyward Family Access. See below for an easy "how to."
