Families,

I am thrilled and excited to welcome everyone back for an AMAZING 2020-2021 school year! While this year will certainly be a unique one, our staff is excited to meet this challenge as what it is, a truly great opportunity. We will continue to create solutions to best engage student learning while supporting our families during this time.

Our staff will be reaching out to you over the next few days to introduce themselves and establish effective lines of communication. Do not hesitate to ask questions, offer suggestions, or share support. Only with your support can we ensure the educational goals of our child(ren) are met and exceeded. Our expectations for academics, behavior, and citizenship remain as high as ever and your involvement helps to reinforce this importance.

We thank you for the support you displayed on June 2nd in the voting booth. With the passing of both referendums, we can ensure the needs of our student’s academic and social-emotional well-being are met. Additionally, the physical needs of our school building will also be addressed. Your vote sent a clear message that our students deserve the very best! Thank you!

While our physical building is closed for the time being, school is very much in session. Stay active, stay engaged, and stay safe!

In Education,

Peter Schlifke (Mr. S.), Principal

Please Note: Classroom teachers may adjust as needed to best support student learning. Teachers will communicate any changes, live Zoom times, or classroom announcements via Canvas or their own communication method.
