We hope everyone had a fantastic winter break! This was definitely the longest one I can remember. We can't wait to welcome all of our Grizzlies back tomorrow morning.

A new semester means a fresh start for everyone!

If a student missed any of their final exams, they will be expected to take them upon their return. We will have our testing center open during WIN Time as well as Grizzly Assist after school in the library with extended hours from 2:30-4:30 pm on January 13, January 14, and January 15. Students need to have final exams completed by Wednesday, January 15, so we are able to finalize athletic eligibility, course changes, etc.

Please Note: Due to all of our snow days, grades will now publish to the Focus Parent Portal on Wednesday, January 15 at 4 pm. Parents can view grades and will have the option to print the report card on their own. The district will no longer email out report cards.
