New Morning Traffic Pattern for 2nd Graders:
Due to the large number of car riders at the Primary School, we are going to adjust our morning drop off area for 2nd grade students. The front of the school will remain the primary drop off location. However, if you have a 2nd grade student and they can exit the vehicle from the passenger side, the rear of the school entrance will be open from 7:20-7:50 for drop off as well as the current drop off location. This entrance is located around the back of the school near the cafeteria. There will be cones placed in the back of the school.
Please stay to the right of the cones before the drop off. On your way out, please yield to our school buses, as they will be using this back road as well. You will follow the road around the back of the school and join the other exiting car riders.
If you drop off after 7:50 am, there will be no change!
Thank you for your patience as we attempt to speed up this process.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

We are thrilled to announce for the 2024-25 school year, ALL students regardless of income will receive FREE Breakfast and FREE Lunch each day! This means every student enrolled in our schools can enjoy breakfast and lunch at no charge!
Thank you to our Nutrition Department for working tirelessly to ensure we can take advantage of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program this school year!
There will be no lunch forms coming home; however, parents of high school students may still be asked to complete a waiver form for ACT, SAT and AP testing.
This news aligns with our commitment to remove barriers to student learning and ensures all students have access to nutritious meals, which is essential for their academic success!
Join us in celebrating this wonderful step towards ensuring ALL our students are well-fed and ready to learn!

“Some people can touch your life for a brief moment, but will leave an imprint for a lifetime." (Lisa Williams)
This phenomenal group of educators has left an indelible imprint on our students' lives. Whether it was in the classroom, in the lunchroom, or on the bus, they have all made a significant difference. Their tremendous wisdom and dedication will be missed by all whose lives they have touched!
We are hiring Transportation positions!
Topping Out Ceremony!
