Volunteers play a vital role in our district. As a reminder, our district requires certain clearances from our community members in order to remain in compliance with current laws and regulations. As a general rule, clearances are valid for five (5) years from the date of issuance. Please visit the links listed under Parent Info, Information for School Volunteers, to update your clearances. Feel free to contact the building office or the administration office with any questions or to check on the status of your clearances.
Middle school students attended an assembly this week to kick off their "pride teams". Every teacher has a team that consists of 6th,7th, and 8th graders and they meet monthly for discussions and activities on various topics such as bullying.
The assembly featured various skits by faculty and students with an anti-bully message. The assembly ended with the singing of the Alma Mater and Wildcat cheers.
