Mrs. Mack is back! 🚌 NORMAL BUS SCHEDULE starting TOMORROW.

We are writing to inform you that next week, our schools will remain at level GREEN (Masks RECOMMENDED) in our schools. Also, masks are now recommended – but not required – to be worn on school buses, as the federal requirement has been lifted.

Attention parents of all 5th-8th grade students interested in joining track and field for the 2022 spring season. Teamworks has put together an apparel team-store for us! This store will close on March 17th to allow for processing time, and merchandise will hopefully be received right at the beginning of the April (about 3 weeks from store closing). If you are interested in purchasing any items please use the link below! There will be more track updates coming as we finalize the schedule, but the tentative practice start date is March 9th! https://d50track22.itemorder.com/shop/sale/
