Update 8/16/26:
Dear Parents,
We want to provide you with an update as we prepare for the new school year. The recent storms that have moved through our area have had a significant impact on the surrounding community. Before students can safely return, our building must be fully operational, with all utilities and support systems functioning properly.
Currently, the projected first day of school for all students in grades K through 8 is Monday, August 24, 2026. Before and After Care for K thru 8 begins Monday August 24, 2026. See below for Early Childhood and Toddler scheduling. Thank you for your continued patience, understanding, and support as we work toward reopening the school safely. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
Thank you and stay safe.
