Thank you for your commitment to excellence and for continually moving our district forward.
During School Board Member Recognition Week, we proudly thank our Board for their leadership and commitment to our district. Through their guidance, families have received support with student school supplies, teachers have benefited from increased local supplements, and our district has maintained strong, sound finances. Their vision has driven growth in career and technical programs, supported instructional coaches and a resource coordinator, and ensured continued academic excellence as an A-rated district with a rising graduation rate. From major facility improvements—including a new field house, building upgrades, Promethean boards, sound systems, and new buses—to investing in the future of our students and staff, their work continues to move our schools forward.

We are thankful to return to campus and back into our routines. Progress reports are being released today and reflect grades issued prior to our recent ice storm break.
SCHOOL CALENDAR UPDATE
At the special-called Board of Trustees meeting last night, the Board amended the spring school calendar. Presidents’ Day is now a student day. February 6 and 9 are designated professional development days. Any future minor adjustments to May will not affect graduation and will be shared once finalized.
WELCOME BACK!
It was wonderful to see our students back on campus today. With 90%+ attendance across all buildings, we’re grateful for a strong return and excited to continue moving forward together. Beginning tomorrow, all schools will resume regular schedules.

After the ice storm break, we’re excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow and help them settle back into their routines.
Before the break, Ms. Sicks’ 2nd grade class made learning a little s’more fun—using s’more-themed activities to explore measurement and adjectives, then celebrating their hard work with a sweet treat!
We can’t wait to see our students back in classrooms filled with learning and smiles.
On Friday, our bus drivers rode their routes and returned with information on the status of the roads. We have a list of routes and their status. Some of the routes have alternate pickup locations.

As road work continues throughout the weekend, we will update the website and status of bus routes on Monday. However, we recommend you reach out to your bus driver if you have any questions.
The student return date is set for Tuesday, February 10, 2026. We will operate on a one-hour delay in order to allow for better visibility along our bus routes.
Our community is still dealing with the consequences of Ice Storm Fern. We believe it is important to help students return to a good routine and look forward to welcoming them back to campus.
We understand some of our families are still without power and even water. As parents, you have the discretion and know what is best for your family. We ask that you go to our website and fill out our reports to let your child’s principal know of any issues or concerns about returning to school.

We will release more information about bus routes and transportation on our website.
Teamwork in action!
We were proud to welcome our student-athletes back to campus for open gym and workouts after the storm break. Many teams jumped right in, helping pick up limbs and clean up our campus. #anchoredtogether
It's National School Counseling Week, and we are excited to celebrate our hardworking counselors! We sincerely appreciate your continued dedication to our students and families, particularly throughout the past few days as you supported our community during the ice storm.
