Rumor Mill: I have been asked a lot about school starting on time. There seems to be a rumor going around that the first day is going to be delayed. That is NOT true. School will start on time. There will most likely still be some construction happening but crews will work around the school days and our schedule. The first day of school is Aug. 22.
Question of the Week: How is the new HVAC system being paid for?
As all of you know the cost of doing business keeps rising in all areas and athletics is no exception. Paying for referees, game administration, custodians, and other overhead costs can be over $1000 for a night for a high school basketball game. In order to combat some of those expenses some changes were made to admission prices and annual passes for extra-curricular activities this coming school year. It has been over 10 years since admission fees have been raised and we hope that everyone understands the District’s position with keeping things running for our students. For 2023-2024 the following prices will
It’s hard to believe but there are only 40 days until students report for class. We have been able to fill most of our positions at school but are still looking for a few in order to be fully staffed. If you or somebody you know is looking for a job please pass the word! If we are unable to fill the positions it’s the students who will be most impacted as changes to meals or the possibility of cancelling junior high athletic seasons are very real.

Campus Construction: There is a lot of demolition and construction going on this Summer at the school so we request that everyone stay off the campus unless with coaches or school personnel. We are beginning to install new HVAC equipment in the elementary and high school buildings. There will be roofing repairs being made to the library and high school. There will be work to change our weight room area. A small addition will be added to the junior high in order to improve insulation as well as give us more storage. There will be lots of digging, there will be lots of old material laying around, and there will many different workers trying to focus on their jobs. We know that the play ground/outdoor basketball courts are popular places for students to play but please help us keep everyone safe by finding another place to recreate this Summer. If you have any questions please contact the office 644-2206.
State Legislature and Public Education: Just when you thought the dust had settled with the 2023 State Legislature something comes along to breathe life back into the politics. There were many bills passed by the legislature which dramatically affect public education. Depending on your perspective it can be good or bad. Recently, challenges were issued to the constitutionality of charter school bills. It is expected more challenges will be issued for other bills involving enrollment, special education, transgender issues, and school safety. Over the Summer, schools will be dealing with changes to law, policy changes, waiting on possible injunctions, and hoping courts will settle arguments as quickly as possible so they can conduct school business efficiently once the first day of class dawns. Until that time if you have questions please contact the office 644-2206 or email myself at [email protected].
