Congratulations to our D.A.R.E graduates on officially graduating from the D.A.R.E program.
Special shout out to Cameron Bryant and Henley Schrock for being selected as this year's essay winners.
The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program is a school-based initiative aimed at empowering students to lead drug-free, violence-free lives. Through engaging lessons taught by specially trained law enforcement officers, students learn about the dangers of substance abuse, strategies for resisting peer pressure, and the importance of making positive life choices. D.A.R.E. also fosters strong relationships between students, schools, and local communities, promoting overall safety and well-being.




I got to listen to a young reader today. He shared a book about our American flag and did a great job. Thanks Ryder for reading to me.

It is time to get ready for our 2025-2026 PreK and Kindergarten Enrollment. Sign-ups will begin on March 18, 2025. Your child must be 4 (for PreK) and 5 (for Kindergarten) by August 1, 2025 to enroll. We look forward to seeing you on the 28th.
We are committed to providing the best possible foundation for our youngest learners. After careful consideration, we have decided to focus our efforts and resources on strengthening our Pre-K program for four-year-olds.
This decision allows us to ensure that we are offering the highest quality experience for our students, families, and community. While we are not currently able to offer a program for three-year-olds, this remains an important goal for the future. We are actively exploring ways to bring this opportunity back when the timing and resources align.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to invest in early learning and work towards making our vision a reality. The future is bright, and we are excited for all the wonderful things ahead for our young learners!
