In the News Congratulations to our spelling bee grade level champion and alternates! Good luck in the District Finals on Monday!

6th grade: Talen Lanner (champion)7th grade: Ryan Dressler8th grade: Lucas Howley

Students listen to directions from Assistant Superintendent Tim Hamman at the middle school spelling bee.

Pick Up / Drop Off We are very thankful for everyone exercising patience with pick up and drop off. To keep things running smoothly, please be sure at drop off to park and walk your student across the lot if you are unloading from a trunk, etc. Extended time in front of the doors causes traffic to back up. At pick up, please be sure to park in the spaces or continue to pull up and fill empty spaces. This will help alleviate traffic on the road and get you out of the lot and home more quickly and safely. We thank you for your continued help!
