6th Grade Camp Success!
We are thrilled to share that our 6th grade students had an amazing time at camp last week! The students enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities, team-building exercises, and learning experiences that deepened their understanding of nature and strengthened friendships. The smiles, laughter, and stories from camp show just how meaningful this adventure was. Thank you to the dedicated staff and parent chaperones who helped make this experience unforgettable!
Mark your calendars! Parent-teacher conferences will be held on October 22nd and 25th. There is a link that will go live Monday for you to sign up for specific times with your student’s teachers. This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your child's progress, celebrate successes, and collaborate on strategies for continued growth. We encourage you to sign up early to secure your preferred time slot. Your partnership is key to helping our students thrive, and we look forward to meeting with you!
We would like to continue that support for our teachers. In lieu of snacks we have set up an e-funds account where you may make a monetary donation. You may do so using the link below. We thank you for investing in your child's education. https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/55579

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
