Cold and flu season is upon us, and we appreciate your help in keeping our school community healthy! Please keep your child home if they are experiencing a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive coughing, or other flu-like symptoms. A student may return to school once they have been free from fever (without medication), vomiting, or diarrhea for at least 24 hours.

Student-Led Conferences are quickly approaching!

Student-Led Conferences allow students to develop important skills such as self-reflection, accountability, and communication. By leading the conversation, they can take ownership of their achievements and growth areas, fostering a deeper connection to their learning. It’s important that students attend the conference with you so they can share their experiences firsthand.

Conference scheduling takes place on Skyward, the same platform where you access your student’s lunch accounts, grades, and attendance. On February 27th at 3:00pm the district will open the window for scheduling spring conferences. The window will close at 3:00 pm on Monday, March 9th. After the scheduling window closes, any conference scheduling will need to go through your child’s teacher.

You can log in to Skyward Family Access here.
