Bulldog Families,
We are approaching winter break and moving further into the winter season, which may or may not bring inclement weather! Our district prioritizes student and staff safety when monitoring winter weather. The decision to close school or transition to a virtual learning day is a multi-faceted process that involves monitoring weather forecasts, assessing local conditions, and coordinating with local authorities. Please read our Decision-Making Process!
We hope all of our students and staff have a great week leading into winter break!

When you can’t beat the cold… you join it! ❄️🍦
Our students made homemade ice cream today — the perfect (and tastiest!) way to learn how to follow a recipe.
They quickly learned that if you don’t follow each step exactly, you might end up with a mini “combustion” and some pretty questionable ice cream on your hands! 😂

Shoutout to our amazing FCCLA students!
On Friday, they planned and hosted a career fair for over 300 students at Marrs Elementary! Our students took the initiative to design the entire event themselves—creating eight stations with real-life, hands-on activities representing different careers. They managed the day with grace, teamwork, and flexibility, even when things didn’t go exactly as planned. Special recognition goes to Kasslyn Payne, Hanah Gruenwald, and Nash Roberts for their leadership in creating and organizing the event.
