We celebrated our 100th Day of School today in our Primary Grades! It was a joy to watch teachers connect “place value” in mathematics to the concept of 100! Thank you, Primary Teachers Ms. Ferguson, Ms. Harriman, Mr. Sampson, and Ms. Weisheipl! Seeing Deep Learning coincide with joy is what we are all about! Enjoy a few shots of our “100 year old” students…

We have a limited capacity for 15 children in our preschool class, so we will be filling those spots first to in-district children prioritizing children with special needs along with considerations such as balancing girl/boy ratio, age ratio, risk factors, etc. There is no enrollment guarantee, as preschool is currently an optional program.

• Out-of-district applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified in August if there is space available.

• Your child must be 3 or 4 by September 1st and must be fully potty trained.

• Please check out important information about our Preschool program on our website.

You will need to fill out a registration/application on the school district website at:

We will notify in-district preschoolers of their enrollment status by the end of April.
