Greetings!

It's hard to believe that we are already in November. This fall seems to have flown by and our middle school Gators have done so many amazing things. It's wonderful to sit back and see the variety of ways in which students have played and explored ideas, created amazing products to show their learning from beautiful infographics, art projects, bumper stickers, tree houses, leaf art and more. Not to mention the incredible stories or memoirs they have written, including values essays, etc. Hearing the beautiful music they are making with their instrument...whether their voices or wind or string. Seeing how they are working to contribute to our community whether organizing a school-wide coat drive collection, mentoring, participating in cultural events in town, or baking bread to deliver to the food shelf.

All of the hard work and intentional planning of our amazing staff working daily to support each and every student to continue to grow their knowledge, skills, and proficiency in key content standards. Our kids are doing amazing things and it's our honor to get to know each one of them and to watch them learn and grow.

Go Gators!

NEW: Omicron specific (Bivalent) Covid-19 boosters are now available for children ages 5-11. The updated booster is for those who have completed their primary Covid-19 vaccine series and received their last dose at least two months ago. Look for Pfizer Bivalent boosters or Moderna Bivalent boosters in the list of walk in clinics or local pharmacies. You may need to keep revisiting the websites as more shipments come in and they will be updating them based on the supply.
