If you have not yet completed the 2027-2028 School Calendar Survey, please take a few moments to share your preference between Option 1 and Option 2. The primary difference between the two proposed calendars is the timing of Fall Break.
The survey also includes an optional section about school and district communications. These questions will help us better understand how you receive information, which communication tools you prefer, and whether there is interest in exploring a more centralized approach to communication.
The communications portion is completely optional and is not required in order to submit your calendar selection.
The survey closes September 1. Please submit your response using this link: https://forms.gle/wM3v9A7N4SfNDoRg6
Thank you for taking a few moments to provide your feedback!

Students were sanding and painting classroom tables to make improvements while also preparing for their upcoming mock SkillsUSA competition. These activities give students the chance to practice craftsmanship, problem-solving, attention to detail, and the hands on skills needed to succeed in the construction pathway.

Students worked on using pictures as context clues to help understand unknown words. By looking closely at the illustrations and thinking about what was happening in the text, students practiced strategies that will help them make meaning as they read.
These early literacy skills help students grow in confidence as they learn new vocabulary and become stronger readers.

Students began class with a warmup focused on creating strong titles for news stories before moving into a discussion about interviewing. They worked on drafting interview questions and learning how to properly prepare for and conduct an interview.
These skills help students think like journalists as they learn to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and share meaningful stories with others.
